Around me in southern Va I had to call a powder coating shop seemed like none of the paint places did it and it would have cost me about $90 a wheel to have done (&40 to have the clear coat taken off and $50 to get the actual powder coating done) hope that helps

My dumb question time, I can't figure out if my wheels are chrome or not. How can I tell. Someone told me they weren't buy some told me they were. Need some help. You can see them in my pic above. Reason I'm asking is because I want to paint them.

I sprayed my wheels with rustoleom bedliner and they came out awesome. It's been more than a year with no chipping. The bedliner spray gives a flat black, textured look and is durable.

just did two of my rims with the rustoleum wheel paint and I think they look great! Only had enough time to do one side today before I have to drive my truck. (redneck i know) will finish the other two tonight/tomorrow
