Best spray for painting rims?
Im planning on spraying my stock rims black, was wondering what best quality/value type of spray to use that wont peel, protects from weather, etc would be?
I have leftover krylon black enamel and clearcoat, would this be sufficient?
also, anyone have opinions on what color would go good with gold (titanium metalic) 6th gen and silver 5 spoke wheel covers? I tried spraying rims metallic green, it looked good in my head, but turned out gay so i scraped it off.
wish i could afford nice rims :/

I used Krylon gloss black enamel and clearcoat and just rattle canned mine. They turned out fine. It took me 2 cans of black and 1 of clear, though.
Dude, you've got a YR-525M Titanium Metallic 6th gen too? If so, my sig is out of date.
PICS PLZ.
[edit]
Silver looks good against the gold, black looks fine (check my project thread for pics of some black 5 spoke rims against the gold). I was gonna color match some to the body but decided against it. Now I'm going for some factory Civic Si rims, so silver again.

I used some automotive enamel spray cans from pepboys for the black coats, and for clear coat I used Duplicolor wheel paint. It is a little tougher clear in my opinion and will help protect your wheels from chips and such. I used 3 cans of black and 1 clear. And one can of Rustoleum Bare Metal primer.

well best paint to use... some real paint in a quart with some hardener with a real spray gun...
rattle cans are only so good and dont put it very thick and definatly not hard enough to with stand dirt and debri while spinnen fast.

As far as spray can wheel paint, Duplicolor makes a great wheel specific paint.
As usual prep is the key. I've used it a couple of times on daily driver/offroading vehicles (much easier to touch up than powder coat). Took a real beating and the only damage was from grinding the wheel lip against rocks, etc...

i used adhesion promoter.. rustoleum primer... some sanding..more adhesion promoter... and rustoleum bronze on my wheels... and they are too bad... they do chip a bit.. but only because i was beating them in my garage when my tool box fell on them.. oh well a new spray takes 5 mins.
