Painting Rims?

Hey.. I havent been on here in a while. What happened was some chinese girl (lol) ran a stop sign so her insurance company paid for me to get a new one. Now im looking at a civic almost exactly like mine with silver chrome rims. Is there any way I could spray paint or any type of special paint I could use on the rims to make them white like my old civic's rims??

or, like most people who have experience already told you in the other thread you already made. Powdercoating is the only way to go. Spray painting will not give quality results or endurance.

Well.. it depends where you get them powder coated.. duplicolor wheel paint actually holds up really well if you do it properly... sometimes even better than powdercoat... and cheaper.

Depends on your daily commute.

If you drive 100 miles a day like I do, no way in hell would some cheap paint from Pepboys hold up.

If you don't drive your car much then DupliColor wheel paint will work
