Painting Rims?

Biggins · 10-03-2016, 08:16 PM

Besides hitting a set with a spray bottle in my backyard again, has anyone had experience painting a set of rims?

I have a set that are very lightweight and perfect for their current use, but they're just ugly. I figure a coat of silver or possibly gloss black might make them look less hideous, but what would be the rough "going rate" for a simple paint job for 4 rims that are in otherwise great condition at a shop?

I did partial plasti-dip on another set that has held up, but I don't want to go that route with this set. Any other ideas?
