Wondering if anyone has done it, how it looks, and how it may hold up to the tire mounting process. Seems like a good alternative to regular paint to me, unless there are drawbacks I haven't thought of?

just make sure you spray it. are you talking about doing the entire rim? or only the front and inside? i wouldn't do where the tire sits, may leak. just my thoughts.

Mostly I was thinking of the face. I'd probably paint the backsides black....they're going to get filthy anyway. I don't know, if I were to do it and had enough leftover to do the back, maybe I'd do the backsides also. But yes, I would leave the inside where the tire goes alone.

I think I would tape off around the lug nut holes, and not apply it there.
