remove old flaky paint on the rim. Sand surface with sand paper. corseness of sanpaper depend on the condition of rim. Clean surface with soap and water. Dry rim. Mask area if u do not want surface to be painted. Buy spray paint of desired colour. Paint should be heat or chip resistant. Spray few layer, each layer as thin as posible. When finich painting color, remove masking tape. then clear coat the rim surface, if required

later when finish, stand back, admire your DIY with a can of beer in hand, provided u did not suffocate inhaling paint from the spray can. j/kidding....

szekeiemme,

thanks for the visual. Nothing beats photos showing the process of DIY. Nice work man. Dicha use heat resistance paint or just normal spray can??

I hear that good hardware shop sell special paint that has "rubberised" content that tend to resist chipping, aspecially from road debris/stone throw when driving.
However, it only available in black.

got a little advise...do notuse the normal clear coat....it will turn yellowish after 1 or 2 month...

[partyJOE]

clear spray wont do any harm... unless u spray too much of it...
2 thin layers shud be just fine... btw this teori only applies to white rims...
