Think my wheels will chip if I paint them?

Just got my car back from the bodyshop, someone backed into me plus I painted my interior trim to match exterior… A little bright but in person looks SICK… Might go with silver next time though lol, hate wood.

ANYWAYY, was supposed to paint the lip on my rims red, but the guy said he didnt want to do them becuase 1 - paint wouldnt stick? which doesnt make sense and 2 - he said they’d last a week without getting chipped…

Anyone have any input on this? I DEF wanna paint my rims otherwise get new ones because all black looks like shit, looks like im rolling on steelies from a distance lol

Yes.

Yes they will chip? What if I powdercoated the lip? Is that even possible and is it expensive? Know any good people with fast turn around time?

Painting will chip. You could always sell those wheels and buy mine. You already know they look good on a red bmw.

lmao, you REALLY wanna sell those rims huh? Like I said, I dont have any need for your rims but my offer still stands :slight_smile: …I really wanted something black with a RED lip to fullfill the two toned look im going for :confused:

I don’t have a BMW anymore so there is no need for them. What was the offer again?

i think he offered up that crazy girl who will fuck you and give you money.

sounds like a deal man, take it…

Sold. Haha

lol, nah I offered $500… Think you said the wheels were a tiny bit curbed up so I think the offer is fair.

powder coat them, not paint.

Do you know anyone who powder coats quicker then 4 weeks and can take my tires off at the same stop there powder coated at so I dont have to?

Yeah they are alittle “curbed” from rubbing in my fender well on big bumps. It’s you want them I was asking 800 so if you wanna meet in the middle at 650 I’ll do it…just want them gone but not that bad

i wouldnt paint them, im pretty sure that shit would just chipped and start peeling right the fuck off

lol, if I had a need for them Id def buy em but they’d just sit until I bent a rim on either 1 of my cars as an extra set. Plus my 19’s are big lol, 20’s would be really big… If you cant sell em lemme know, I live right next door so yea lol.

rattle can them black and use a red pinstrip for the lip. it will stay for a long time youd be surprised

I have a red pinstripe now, I thought it would improve the look of the ugly all black wheels but it really doesnt, only a wider red lip would make it look good.

First pic is what I have now, up close it looks decent, from a distance you cant see the stripe so it looks like im riding on steelies lol… Second pic is of my old del sol, the red lip on the del sol is what I am searching for, for the current rims on my red bmw.

powercoat them … paint does chip no matter how well you prep them with wheels. Just constant washing and all the elements will cause them to.

idk if it would work, but what about a vinyl or soemthing?? just throwing out ideas
