Painted my rims

[UnitedNSX]

Sanded them, primed them with high heat filler primer then painted, Re sanded and painted them again with high heat gloss black paint.
They came out excellent and I didn't even have to take them off the car. Simply taped off the car, breaks and calibers then placed index cards around the rim to protect the tires.
I plan to light sand once more, paint again then clear coat them.
I was nervous but very pleased with the outcome

The paint has held up very well. Looks 100% as it did day one and it's been @ 4 weeks of hard daily driving...

My experiences with painting wheels were that they work fine....until you have to 1) get the wheel balanced or 2) replace the tires. Then the paint just starts chipping from the tire horn (yes, I requested plastic horn) and the balance machine.

YMMV

I could see that being a issue but I guess that what a lil touch up paint would help with
