i got a set of 17 that was already powder coated black (doesn't look as clean) and i need a new look to it. i was thinking of buying a gun metal spray paint and spray it with it. anyone know where i can get it? any suggestion on something different?

Don't spray paint them.. That'll look so ghetto if it doesn't come out even. Take them somewhere what can professionally paint them gunmetal and bake on the finish so it lasts. Either that or get them powder coated gunmetal.

autozone. and i posted a DIY on painting/repairing rims in this forum. wheel paint is generally thicker than regular spray paint, and it is much easier to use on metal surfaces. If you prep your rims properly, and take care of them like the body of your car, they will last. of course, JMHO.

generally how much would it cost for a proffessional to do it?

well i found your diy and will try this. a few question though. if i'm doing the whoe rim do i have to use paint thinner to get rid of the stuff that is on it already? or do i just spray primer on it and start spraying away. you got all this stuff at auto zone?

I would get them powder coated in gunmetal it will be much more durable than paint, and yes the only way to do chrome is at a chrome shop.

and it literally costs 10 times more. little rocks won't hurt the paint on your wheels any more than the paint on your body
