Anypaint with good prep will work. To make it last spray some clear on it after you are done, they'll look like they came painted

Re:want to paint wheels..need feedback on color and brand!
 

yeah i guess ill see if i cant find a real dark gunmetal...should i use primer first or just the spray enamel?

Re:want to paint wheels..need feedback on color and brand!
 

i would use the primer myself, it will help you see any minor imperfections on your wheels. i did my valve cover with hitemp. cleaned it up with aircraft stripper, then went over the whole thing with a red scotch-brite, air dried it, primed, painted (4 coats, each applied just before the previous one was completely dry), then cleared (also 4 coats, applied just as the previous dried).

I have to say, that for a rattle can job, this turned out awesome. I think if I were to have done some wheels the same way they would have turned out just as good.

anyway that's how i painted some stuff so that it would hold up, hope it helps.
