Re:want to paint wheels..need feedback on color and brand!
I used the duplicolor bronze ---- and only used two cans and that was enough. ---- this was the best job I did so far and for prep I just took a paper towel and knocked off the lost dirt and then started spraying. The bronze looks really good and I didn't clear coat it cause I don't like the glossy look and the the ---- holds good and nothing has chipped of yet. ---- primering and all that other ----. I did that all before on the other rims I've painted and these with the less prep work turned out the best. Duplicolor gets two thumbs up from me.

Re:want to paint wheels..need feedback on color and brand!
it's ok travis, I still love canada and my canadian people.
my rims should be here in a week or 2, I'm going to get some heavy *** sand paper to take all the white paint off, then go over with a little bit lighter sand paper so the paint isn't all rough. then I'm going to do a couple of coats of flat black and then mount some tires and put them on. I'm going with flat black because if I went with anything else I'd be fired as a stealthmode performance representative.

Julio, do me a favor and don't paint a good set of gsr wheels. Not even black.
Sell them to someone that wants that ---- and put some real black wheels on your car.
I just feel like your taking a red type r valve cover and asking how you should paint it.

that and when i bought them i got them black, so when i hit that ---- with the airplane remover ---- it made it look dull and wack!!
i dont like that ---- all dull..i like them black or some dark greyish color...
but seriously if these were Type-R wheels i wouldnt be doing these...ican find these just about anywhere but do i want to spend 300-400 NO!
i got these for 200 with tires and thats good enough for me..even if they were black to begin with..thanks for your concern but i think ill paint them anyway
