Had mine powdercoated bronze. Last friday I put my car into a ditch, some of the wheels got scratched. I am getting them re-coated, this time I am going with a Suby WRX rally Gold.

Swwet..I am taking mine in and getting gold too. How much per wheel are they charging you?

Wow..My theard came back to Life!!...hahaha....

To answer your question..Thats a Negative...They have Dupli-color spray paint designed for wheel painting and Clear Coat..

Just make sure u Sand the wheels well.....Do light coats...Let dry between coats....
then do Multi-coats of Clear....Then let the paint "cure" for a week...

I have mine painted for about 3 months...No chipping or anything...

maybe rethink the center cap look. I had my center caps off (stock unpainted wheels) for a few months and really liked the "custom" look...untill you were able to see the rust that the cap covers...then it doesnt look so great...

real nice paint job though!
