Wuts the best way to paint 02 factory rims an off-black?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wut would be the best way to paint my factory rims an off-black, you know .... like not glossy ....

A friend of mine that I linked up with this past weekend @ the races out in Jersey told me to sand them down and then paint off-black .... so it isn't glossy and it gives it like a grey'ish look since the paint really sinked in ....

Is there any other way, anybody tried this or painted they're rims? ....

I wanna do a similar thing w/ the hood and the spoiler .... I like the remaining OE stock parts I still have.

Reason I don't wanna get rims is cause I like how these rims look, nothing special, stock, and the tires handle good as well .... I don't usually cut it loose at race nights and just mainly drive a few blocks, in the city. Reason I got the ricy kit was cause my girl crashed it and my back bumper was f*cked. Front bumper I had when I bought the car few months ago had a few nicks ... and a cab drove into my side and scuffed under the door .... something where the sideskirts would go, .... :)

I haven't turbo charged it since there's not point over here in NYC but I'm moving to FL in a few weeks so ....... ;)

I'm going to need some advice on where to even start so I can turbocharge it cause I'm turbo dumb ..... only thing I never really took knowledge to.

Thanks.

for the painting, i guess you could use regular enamel, right? thats something ive never really messed with.

as for the turbo, just ask questions that you have and we will answer them

do they have any kind of coating on them now? if so, you will need to sandblast them. you can use a flat paint or they make a flattener to add to paint to give it a dull look.

that's something like what i was thinking .....

would that chip off eventually or what? ...

it wont last as long as something with a clearcoat to protect it, but as long as you dont hit any curbs it should be fine. why do you want to do this anyway? r u going to paint them yourself? black is the most expensie color to paint.
