Painted Rims


I would like to buy a new set of chrome wheels but I can't figure out which ones I want and the cost is not justified because this truck is not a show truck. So instead of buying new rims I decided to paint the original rims back to their original factory look. I watched a few youtube videos then I decided to basically clean and paint. I used a trick I found online of sticking playing cards around the edge between the rim and tire to block overspray. First I primed them with primer, then painted with Rust-Oleum 248927 Automotive High Performance Wheel Spray Paint, 11 oz., Steel . Once that was dry I used Rust-Oleum 248929 Automotive High Performance Wheel Spray Paint, 11 oz, Clear as a clear coat to protect them. I painted two at a time using thee spare tire to hold one spot and the jack and jack stands to hold the other up while I painted.
