Painting R34 Series 1 Rims

[starwarz]

Im thinking about painting my Series 1 r34 rims, they are a little scratch and think since im going to eventually swap them over for Series 2 rims i might as well give it a go. What color or products do you suggest, when im done ill post some pics of it.

What colour is your car?

Isn't the only difference between series 1 and series 2 the color?

I did mine with 2 cans of $15 spray paint from Autopro. Paint chipped easily, especially around the nuts when removing wheels. But since they're not exactly anything special, didn't bother me much and I just touched those up with some permanent marker. Shh don't tell anyone

If I was you, I wouldn't go all out and pay hundreds of dollars to powdercoat or paint GTT stockers. 34 R rims on the other hand...

permanent marker sounds good, oh i mean series 1 non turbo as shown below, i dont really care about these rims to be honest and there not worth much from what i have seen, so i think it will be fun to give them a colour that will suit silver.

just make sure you prep them well

wash them, clean with thinners - then sand them with some 400 grit or medium scotch brite pads - then prime (non etch) and paint
