Painting Rims

gurneyeagle

Okay, okay, before anyone goes ballistic and starts the "do a search" replies, I'm looking for something different here.

For all the guys that DIY'd their rims, how long ago did you paint your rims and how well are they holding up?

It seems the going rate for a pro paint job looks to start at around $200 a rim in Houston (includes dismounting, re-mounting/balance). From the threads I've read, it looks like a few sheets a sandpaper, some good self-etching primer, and a couple cans of Duplicolor - paint and clear.

If I do it myself, I know I can do it for less than $100. The big question is - How will it hold up?

Happy Holidays to all and Best Wishes for a great New Year!

Mike
