Painting Wheels, Did Search, not a question I've seen posed Options

[Fastbird]

I'm highly considering picking up the wheels we WANT and painting them the color we want. I.E. HPR5 wheels in silver, center section painted black.

Now, my question is this: How durable is the paint going to be, and how glossy??? I'd like to get it looking like powdercoat, but I need to make sure that it's going to hold up to the elements. Would a brake caliper paint work possibly???

Also, what are the odds of the paint taking if I don't scuff the surface at all??? I REALLY have reservations about taking a brand new unmounted set of wheels and tearing them up.

TIA

i painted my stock wheels and i use them in the winter so i dont ruin my other ones. No problems so far with chipping and scratching. they still look brand new and im always getting compliments on them. if you have anymore questions on the how-to just post it up or pm me.
