I want to paint a set of rims flat black, very much like the flat black Rota Slipstreams come in. Does anybody know who makes wheel paint that same color?? Or if i go with high temp. flat black paint, will i get the same result?? At last, is it ok to put clear coat on top of the flat black or will it just make it look glossy?? Thanks

High end repair shops often do their own wheel refinishing! Check with a local shop to get an idea of the best wheel paint brand for years of flake-free use.

regular spray paint works fine. Not too much heat is transferred to your wheel from the brakes, not enough to effect paint anyway.
