Refinishing old stock rims
Anyone ever refinish or had your aluminum rims refinished? Budget and economics you know.... got me thinking about one day doing it. I see Eastwood has kits but hear mixed results. My rims clearcoat is flaking off and am getting aluminum rust where the wheel weights are.

I am also curious about this. Where would I find the same color paint to match my oem steel wheels? I'd just like to repaint them, not change the color. Anyone know where to find a match?

I was going to, but it ended up finding the same OEM aluminum's in great shape on ebay - $25 a rim. Couldn't pass it up.

I would think any body shop/automotive paint supply store would be able to supply it for you.
