any good brand of paint, krylon, sem, rustoleum etc. using high temp is a good idea.

Give it like couple months you will regret you did. Mine is already looking like crap. Paints peels off easy. I wouldn't do it again. Don't get me wrong it looks good for the first 5 min. Grrrr i have to strip mine off.

i painted mine gunmetal with the wheel paint from autozone and i couldnt get the paint to peel off even if i tried to scrape it off. just be sure u use some brake cleaner to take off all the grease and grime off such as armorall that got on ur rims by accident. to this day i sill like the way mine looks. i just didnt use clear coat though... i think it looks better without it if u are using this paint.

duplicolor works great...used two cans of the graphite paint on my wheels and then used duplicolor's clear coat. If u don't put enough coats of the paint or clear coat it will peel though

Yep, I did the same thing, actually re-doing them right now because I did a crappy job before, here is how they are coming so far
