painting rims

[Anonymous]

anyone paint there mags yet? im thinking of spraying them black.

I painted a set on a KZ model a while back. It peeled right back off in a few days, discoloring the metal.

Then I read up on primers and the importance of doing it on aluminum mags.

Get a good aluminum etching primer, and prep the surface well. Other than that, a good automotive paint designed to resist tar and oils should work fine.

I painted and clear-coated mine...no problems. Paint the aluminum as soon as possible after finishing surface prep...it starts to oxadize quickly but you can't see it.

whats a por15 kit?....Hap, when i tried to clear coat my tank it turned out like crap, im just gonna primer and paint.

Dupli-color Plasticoat from just about any auto parts sticks tight without primer. I used it before with no problems. Sikkens makes a self-etching primer if you want to go to the trouble. Then you can topcoat with just about anything.
