didnt know that. thx for the info. when i did my wheels a few years ago on my piece of crap grandam, i used the engine paint. is it about the same price?

 

Ihave no idea it should be about the same, i say maybe 10 bucks a can.

 

As far as protecting the tires, I saw someone stick index cards around the edge. The way the sit, they block the tire completeky.

man. when i painted my stocks on my grand am i thought i was the only ghetto one out there. brings back alot of memories. never heard of that index card trick. next time a buddy wants his rims done im gonna try that. probably works better than covering tires with newspaper.

 

ok well duplicolor has a metalic dark silver kinda loks like black chrome said its heat resistant and durable u think it would hold up if i sprayed it with the engine clear ... the wheel paint is all dull

 

i used to have a 89 f150 and i spray painted the factory steelies black, and put on a crome beauty ring and some crome lug nuts andbam! they looked just like off road rims. they never even chipped on me. i ended up using the rustolium enamel, which was supposed to keep them from rusting too!

 

duplicolor also makes the wheel specific clear.
