aluminum dosnt like to let paint stick without really good prep work. FYI. so just dont get a can n shake it up

I agree Mike...I think you may want to spend a couple of bucks and have them powder coated...IMO

I called today to a guy here in town and he said 50.00 to do all my wheels. Said he would give me a deal due to me working at the Fire Dept!! I think I better do it for the price!!

Powder Coat them .. dont think for anything else .. $50 or $40 will be fair

i raced a yellow ltr with black beadlock rims, black ims nefrs and heal guards and black number back grounds. he had fenders cut and dasa exhaust and all i can say is SWEET! black on the yellow ltrs looks awsome. i wish my ac nerfs were completely black. but any ways i have worked with powerdercoat, very good stuff. will last a long time and its worth the price.

I own a machine shop and we do powdercoating. You must blast it completely to bare metal first. Thats the pain in the a$$. Powdercoating is actually really simple if you have the setup. Powdercoating is the way to go. Extremely durable and a flawless finish.
