Painting rims
Hey guys I plan on redoing my rims with some rust oleum. I already know what prep is necessary but I need some opinions. They're current just stock wheels from the factory ugly grey if you ask me. I was thinking of doing black since my blazers black. I think they would look sharper black on black on black.

I painted the wheels on my pickup 3 years ago when I bought it and they look about the same now. I've done it with, and without tires on the rim. No tire gives a better finished product.
Clean the wheel of any grease or crud. Remove old wheel weights as they hold salt and can rust. Get a scuff pad or steel wool and dip it in soapy water that has a bit of Dawn in it. This will scuff the finish to hold the paint and the dawn will remove and wax or oil on the metal. Make sure the wheel is dry and slap the paint on evenly with a good brush. Let it dry a couple of days and you're done.
