maxxis26 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 ive got a silver rim i want to spray black to batch the front oneive sprayed a frame before bit not sure on the rimits already silver is there a "better" paint to useand whats the best way to "prep" it for sprayingi would like the sidewall paint to stay on for a while so would it be worth lacquering it on that note what pads would work well with a lacquered rimthanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 My mate who sprays his bmx (what seems like) every week just takes his tyre etc off, spins the wheel and sprays! He usually gets a really good finish on that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
