Can some give me a link for the DIY for painting your rims. I have searched for an hour and I can't find anything for some reason. I know there is one out there. I would appreciate it. Thanks

Are you going to "paint" them or powder coat them?

The DIY section is in the Tech Garage section. But I've never seen a single post about someone painting the rims themselves. Plenty of threads about powder coated rims, but they've all been done professionally.

My humble, unsolicited opinion - if you have to ask how to do it, you should NOT DIY! It's not like painting calipers or hubs, where a screw up can be easily fixed or hidden. Mess up on the rims and everyone will see it. Tho I guess you could try it, and have it re-done professionally if something goes wrong.

GL - and post some pics (and maybe write a DIY) if you do paint them.
