    Default painting a set of vx ss rims

    hey guys, ive got a black vxss thats has the standard silver ss rims,
    just wondering if anyones ever painted these?
    Im gettin a bit tired of the silver and want to go dark grey/shadow chrome but not black.
    Wonderin also what tools i need,will i need a gun etc?
    Or wil straight outta spray can be ok?
    And will i need to take the rubber off the rim?or just tape or cover it?
    Appreciate any help.
    Cheers guys

    powder coating would be another option I know you said you didn't want to go black but my mate has a vt with vx ss rims on it and he got them powder coated black came up really nice

    they're full of shizz, i worked as a powder coater and alloy wheels can be done. ive done both steel and alloy jobs before so i cant see why they wouldnt be able to do it??? i suppose maybe because alloy isnt as conductive as steel but in saying that ive done plenty of alloy jobs and the powercoat turned out great!
