Finally Painted my Rims!
Finally was able to paint the rims on my truck to match the truck. I used the Red Duplicolor Metalcast. Highly recommend this stuff. Applied the Metalcast Basecoat since the rims were originally gold.

Re: Finally Painted my Rims!
Those blend well with the truck, what size are your tires and also your rim width?

Re: Finally Painted my Rims!
Yes, looks great. It’s nice to do something simple that make a huge difference in appearance. Now if it could only warm up here so I could paint mine.
