is it possible to paint stock firebird rims the formula ones and if so with what paint ant what prep and how to

 

yes you can any color you want. Use something to clean them with like some paint prep stuff for metal.Or you can get them powder coated,chromed or even black chrome

 

sweet would regular wheel paint work

 

i am sure if you are painting the metal part and are really cleaned before appyimg

 

if you check around there also may be some kind of acid that you can clean them with.I used to service air conditioning units and you would clean them with a aluminium acid. That stuff worked great on my old 15" RS rally wheels.I would probably definitely use a kind of wheel paint instead of reg. paint probably hold up much better

 

sweet could I sand them with a high grit paper Mabey

 

i guess almost like painting a car you may even want to primer and coat but i never went that far but if you really want them to look nice i would definitly put some time into it especially getting them clean of all dust and make sure you wash them after you sand or whatnot

 

ok thanks probably start tomorrow lol

 

Aircraft stripper works wonders, available at most auto arts stores.

I used some self etching primer on mine, followed by a couple of coats of caliper paint on my 15" RS wheels. They held up pretty good before I sold them. They lived on an S10 for a while and, last I heard, did really well with little or no maintenance for the last couple of years.
