IWSTI Addict since: May 2007 Trader Rating: (5) | Re: painted my rims. want some I.M.O.'s IMO, I would not leave them black with the red. Very creative but not on the BBS rims. Like it was said use 4-5 coats of clear if u want the finish to stock around for a while. The best solution for u would be to powder coat them for a finish that will last a long long time and will be very durable. Last edited by 04STiguy79; 01-12-2008 at 08:26 PM. |

IWSTI Addict since: Jun 2007 Trader Rating: (2) | Re: painted my rims. want some I.M.O.'s I would stick with just the black IMO. If you want to add some red, paint the lip red. |
