Best paint for wheels?

[Stoopidbot1]

I meant no offense at all. When welding it is very important to get back to the bare metal

lol use house paint

Recently talked to a friend and he said paint wont work on the rims at all..I cant see how they wouldnt..But i dont wanna spend money on powdercoat..not worth it

[Stoopidbot1]

Trailblazer just painted his, they worked. You have to rough up the surface a little bit.

I've been a Painter for over 25yrs. XIM makes a really good primer. Bonds very well to any surface. Tile, glass, chrome, you name it. XIM Bonder

Some great info, thanks Mikey!

[kfx450r]

Thanks for the info..do any stores sell that? like home depot, walmart ? and would ruffing up the surface to be able to paint them make them look rough or bad? I still want the smooth clean look

Sherwin Williams carries XIM products. They make several primers. You can also get it in an aerosol spray can. Clean the surface really well, then wipe clean with a good de-greaser before painting. It will bond just fine. But, just like any other paint it will chip from rocks etc. But thats going to be your best bet. SW also sells a good apliance Epoxy in rattle cans.

You can paint the rims if you rough them up, and use a good primer i chose not to paint my rims on my quad because the rims take so much of the brunt of things i knew the paint would be off so quick. powder coating them would def last longer, should be able to find someone to powder coat all 4 for 50-100 bucks. I just cleaned my rims up and polished them.

Thanks, I'll prob just get new rims all together on smaller tires..instead of powdercoating stock ones..and some great and ..somewhat sad news..The great part is my parents are going to pick up my atv tomorrow!, the sad news is..I will be at work from 12-9pm..and im getting a white trx450r not black/blue..because a dealer is like literally half a mile down the street and selling a brand new white one for 5899..I like white..not as much as black..just dont like red..but i will be very happy..and anyone suggest a color of nerfs? Im thinkin ..black nerfs with black rims still..would be neat..white on black ..i dont like chrome

Check out Albaaction.com for nerfs, i got an awesome price on mine. not sure if they would have somethin good for your quad. I got mine for $64.99. The alba nerfs are the same nerfs as tusk from rockymountain and rock from motosport.

Dont have them strung up yet but there on the quad

Also check out blingstar.com they have some good nerfs as well.

Hey, you just registered over at the Org yesterday. You were asking about getting the springs on your front shocks painted. Congrats on the new Honda 450. Very good choice. See you over at the Org. Best 450R site on the web.

[wheeler0801]
