Has anyone here ever repainted wheels, I'm thinking about just repainting my old rims instead of buying new ones, anynody got any advice on the procedure and productsa to use?
Thanks
 
Have you considered powder coating them? It's not too expensive and I've seen some rims come out looking really nice.
 
I've known a few people that have painted the factory Mustang bullit wheels. They've really come out looking nice. All have use DuPont's spray paints.

They did their homework in the sense of they sanded, primed (if needed) 3-4 coats of paint, and same for CC.
