painting rims?

[MadMaXXX]

hi
i have a sherwood green 95 legend and the finish on my rims is starting to peal and such

i was wondering if any1 knew a way to restore/paint them so they may look like they did when they were new

if not im open to suggestions on replacements

my car looks like the green 1 in the picture and has the same rims

There is a thread on honda-tech about DIY rim painting and i guess it holds up pretty well if you have them bead blasted and then use some dupli-color or krylon stuff.

I have a 97 Integra LS with some 99-00 Si wheels that I painted. I just got some wheel cleaner and cleaned the shit out of them, took them off, put some note cards around the tires so I would not get paint on them, and bought some Dupli-Color Graphite Wheel paint and some High Heat Clear Coat and went to work. With the Dupli-Color Wheel paint I didn't need to sand or primer. Painted them and they held up great. No chipping or discoloration for 4 months. I just repainted them a week ago because I got some new tires and when they got mounted some of the paint came off. Other than that no problems here and it only cost about $8 bucks.

what u think about these rims on my legend?

 

[sportlinecrx]

i think those would look pretty good on a legend.

 

[mwvnos]

yea those rims would look cool on a legend...i have painted 2 sets of rims and they look okay...didnt do much prep work but they still turned out fine...

thir on sale with tires for 499 and my current tires are pretty worn out so i figure id spend a couple extra bucks and get rims too
