    $5.00 can of high temp black paint
    $5.00 can of high temp clear coat
    painting over your old tires knowing your getting new tires mounted....Priceless.

    I painted Christines rims on the fizzer they came out really nice for $10.00 way better than the fading white rims she had on before. Best part was not having to mask off the old tires!

    The Fizzer is looking pretty damn good for a 1992.

    Looks good. How about a side shot. Why did you use high temp paint?

    Why the high temp. paint? Did you use priemer? How did 1 can cover both rims?
    I painted my zx-6r race bike rims and I used 2 cans priemer, 2 cans of paint, 1.5 cans of clear. What did I do wrong

    I used high temp paint for the durability of the actual paint. Plus it's a bonus when sitting in the hot sun that it wont fade peel chip etc... I used a can each no primer as the white powder coat that was on there previously acted as a good primer. I'm not saying they will look pretty for ever but they sure look better than the faded white powder coat.
