[X2Board161]

Hear meh nah, ah want to paint over my rims, they are white but i'm thinking of changing the colour. My question is, can i take them to a good painter, and let him sort meh out? And what sort of paint do i consider using?

your painter is the best bet, and it is usually not that costly.

my painter sorted the paint out...it was automotive PPG brand, but as to the type i really can't say... (it cost me a few hundred dollars and that included the paint)..hopefully one of the painters see this thread and may shed some light on the type of paint that they use.

What ever color you choose you should powder coat them. Better finish and looks a whole lot better IMHO

Normal paint with a clear coat man. Just like body work. Usually people charge aout $50-$100 per rim, I guess it will be more expensive depending on the paint.

If you want flat black, you can paint it yourself with a few cans of spray paint.

Do a search online.
