painting snowflake jeep rims?
i have the stock snowflake looking rims and want to paint them but haven't seen people with them.. is it too much of a pain in the rear to sand into the grooves? and if anyone has painted theirs please post so i can see what they will look like.. i was thinking of sanding mine down the best i can, applying a primer, and using the rustoleum bed liner paint in a can... what is your opinion?
thanks
thanks

I have mine painted black unfortunately I do not have a picture of them but it wasn't too hard just take your time sanding them so the paint sticks. I had to redo mine because I didn't sand them down the first time.

I painted mine with rattle can bedliner, Duplicolor not Rustoleum though, I do like how they turned out but personally wouldn't do it again. Scuffing them with a red Scotch Brite was a PITA. Here's the only pic I really have of them right now as I took them off the Jeep when I got tires for the 16" wheels I'm running now, its also from before I changed the fenders and painted it lol.

I like it.
I used Krylon Fusion on a old set of alloy wheels.All I did for prep was wipe the wheels down with Windex & painted them.Still look good.
I'll find a pic later.
