Self Painted Rims ??
Ok so i have already painted my wheels how i want them to look, and don't get me wrong, they look cool and have lasted all summer, but what about when winter comes around, all that road salt and sh*t, for anyone who has does this before, does the salt and snow just trash the paint job or what?
When painting i used two cans of rust oleum primer, and then like 2-3 cans rust oleum paint, and then 2 cans of finish.
My question is how do you guys think it will stand up in the winter?

I mean i have taken em through mud and sh*t plenty of times, and not one chip is visible yet.

Then for the paint 3 cans of rustoleum high gloss.
And then three cans of outdoor Krylon clear finish.
Just my opinion, i like the clear coat over the black.
But yeah i would recommend that you use Rust Oleum for everything.
And make sure you sand the hell out of those wheels before you do anything, and i would use a medium grip sandpaper, but that really depends on the wheel condition for what sand paper to use.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like it will take more primer and paint than I anticipated. I plan to use a wire cup brush, than sand with medium and fine grit sandpaper, wipe down with mineral spirits, prime with filler primer on front (in case there are any nicks in metal), and rusty metal primer on back (cause I already have it and who cares if it is not perfectly smooth back there.). I have painted enough to know it is ALL in the prep work...
Then paint back of wheels with satin black and front with the metallic black enamel. I'll need to pick up either some crystal clear enamel or Wheel Clear Coat. Probably no compatibility issues with Krylon, but I am going to use all Rustoleum products, I think.

With mine, i have taken them mudding, through creeks, muddy creeks, water, and they still look great.

wax or either just buy krylon. I swear by that stuff, its liquid gold when it comes to cars. Im a fan of flat black so when i did mine it didnt take me long and i cant put a clear coat on or else ill have some shinny n***er crap. So i just buy a couple extra can of spray and every time i wash the car i just run em over with a coat, ive never had any problem...yet
