Re: Painting Wheel Lip?

what color? You can try some buffing compound to minimize that damage as well. If you do it, make a DIY because my lip is faded from an Indiana winter.

Re: Painting Wheel Lip?

if you painted it black it would just make your rims look smaller. Silver would be straight I'd think as long as you kept the hub/center the same finish

Re: Painting Wheel Lip?

powder coat all 4 of them something, or paint all 4 of them something...seems like a waste though...I'd just try to clean that curb rash up as much as possible and call it a day
