    Default Painting Rims

    Hey

    I have some VR clubby (not sure if real or fake) rims, 17x8"? They have been painted in a chrome colour but that has been coming off, How would i re-paint them and what kind of paint would you suggest?

    Thanks

    Ignore what everyone else will say, they got no idea.
    Grab a paintbrush and some of this stuff (your local primary school should have some) and paint till your heart's content.
    Comes in 5 convenient colours.

    No. Fat084 gives me shit cause I said one little thing about his car and he went apeshit. Called me a bad driver and everything but what he didn't realize was the comments at the start saying how much I liked it.

    Your local auto parts store should have 'wheel paint' in an aerosol can. You can use that if you want the cheaper option.

    eziautoparts.com.au
    Your total auto parts store on the web!
