Has anyone tried this when painting rims?

I did that to Lady Foreman's & it worked out pretty good. They are holdin'
up pretty good.

i painted mine black and put 4 coats on them and then a few days later rode close to 50 miles at the Hatfield McCoy trails in some of the rockiest stuff i have ever ridden...i only had 1 place where the paint chipped and it is a little spot...3 of us that went had just painted them and they all faired really well for the terrain we rode....i didnt use any clear...

I rode with Wvforeman & I had just painted mine and they look great after the ride.

cool, it was just something i was thinking of, im considering painting my rims and thinking of a way to make the paint job hold up and last longer, thanks guys

I painted mine black (6-7 coats), then put clear engine paint over them(about 4 coats). They lasted well over a year. Now I just touch them up w/ whatever can of gloss black I grab first. But I do not have to touch them up much.
