Painting/wrapping rims

Good afternoon everybody!

I would like to make my current stock rims black. I was wondering if any of you have experience painting, bed lining or wrapping your rims to the black color. Being a rig that I regularly wheel, I would like to be able to just "re-spray" them after a couple inevitable scratches occur so maybe wrapping wouldn't be the best. What are yalls recommendations?

 

If you don't care that they look perfect all the time - paint / derp

If you want them to look their best all the time - powdercoat.

 

I plasti dipped mine for a temp solution. I dont go off Road so I cant say what that would be like on them, but for on the street they have held up quite well.

 

I painted my wheels and emblems to color match. They are holding up very well:

 

I'm thinking of plasti dipping my sport wheels also. You guys that did it, no issues with car washes or regular scrubbing when washing the trucks?

 

I use a sprayer that mixes the soap and water, sort of like a foam gun but not near as good, for the wheels. Spray with soap, let sit a few minutes, and rinse. My last tire rotation did not present any scratch or peeling. Plasti dip makes a clear that you can go over it with, I have the clear but didn't use it yet, and I don't think I will.

 

What color plasti dip did you use, I have these same wheels, and also don't run center caps. Very nice looking

Mine are actually painted not dipped. I used 3 coats of a high-temp gunmetal gray Rustoleum paint with a clear coat.

Edited to add that I followed this plan exactly:
