Painted rims

I just finished painting my rims with that dupilcolor stuff. I wanted something different without spending alot. Plus winter is coming and I would need winter tires, this way I have something different for the winter, and I'll buy rims for the summer. I 'am so pleased with the result, I have the white TSX with graphite rims now, kinda looks A-specish . The OEM lip kit is on order but the front lip is backordered. I know you guys want pics, but I don't know how, I'll email them to some one so they can posted them.

Check the FAQ section on how to post pics. It's super easy.

i have used the duplicolor in the past.. it's good stuff only if u prep the surface properly for painting... since it is paint it can be scratched off but only with effort and stupidity.

Graphite, it's by dupli-color. Great stuff easy to work. I used 2 cans of color and one of clear coat for all 4 wheels. Three coats of color and two of clear. I'll post more pics soon. Thanks for the postive response.

I guess that's a great economical alternative to the 5-spoke Acura rim option, the "sun star".

Yeah, it looks nice, but I think it's because it's on a PWP.

i cant tell. they look good to me. only problem is w/ spraying your own wheels is overspraying. just apply thin coats.

mine were super shiny. too bad i never took pics.
