Hello all, have any of you ever painted chrome wheel rims? I've done chrome fenders by giving them a good scratching then etching primer and a few coats of paint. But what kind of paint would be the toughest for wheels? I'm planning a bobber and like black wheels but I don't want to spend $ on powder coating wheels. Thanks for the input, Tom

I would guess a good polyurathane. You can get paint that is specifically for wheels and brakes. Caswell industries even sells it in aerosol. And will ship it to your door.

Best to get 'em shotblasted & powder-coated, tough as nails & wont flake-off during tyre changes!
