im looking to paint my 86 iroc z wheels a matte black to match with some other parts on the car.....anyone done this or know the kind of paint to use? my worry is that the wheel will overheat and take the paint off, any suggestions appreciated

 

I used Dupli-Colors line of wheel paint/primer/clear on mine about a year ago and they still look freshly done.

 

I'm wanting to do the same thing only I was thinking powder coat. Is powder coating rims a good idea or is this dupli-color paint system the way to go?

 

According to some people powder coating a wheel changes the properties of the aluminum in a negative way.... Allegedly.

 

I thought I had heard not to do it, just didn't know why.

 

i wanna do mine the same. i have a white camaro i wanna paint my 89 iroc wheels black.

 

can plastidip for like 40 bucks and if you dont like remove it

 

Done.
