BeatBox Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 have you considered plastidip? never done it myself but def want to try it easy prep and peels off if you change your mind down the road
ThreehundredC Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 i plastidipped my big chrome 22s. only prep was clean the rim and put news paper over the rotor and spray away. worked good
BEEMDUB Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 I would suggest just plastidipping man, yea it'll be flat black and yea it might not look AS good as painted or powdercoated...But when it comes time to powdercoat it'll cost you more in prep if you paint them than if you just plasti dip and then have to peel it off.

stevog Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 plastidip would be easy and has good results
kl0wn Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 I have the wheels on my MINI plastidipped. Can't post a picture right now since I am on mobile but I can later when I get off work. Easy to use though, I just cleaned the wheels with purple power, let them dry, then painted.

OrangeJuiced Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 If you have an air compressor buy a cheap hplv spray gun from harbor freight. Get a black metallic pearl base coat. I got a quart for like $27. Then buy a nice medium or high solids base coat. High solids will give it a nice finish. A quart of that is probably close to $30 also. You won't have to get the rims powder coated. The finish will be unbelievable. 2001 GMC Sierra Build. Body dropped and Juiced
SnowDrifter Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Posted December 3, 2012 I had plastidip for a month or two.
