I have a buddy who just sanded and rattle canned his rims on his bike and they look incredible.

Here is the stuff that he bought to do it with. He said he only needed one can and he put on 3 coats. 1 coat of clear. So far the paint seems to be holding up.

If I new they were going to be this hard to find again I would have keeped it. I sold it back in 94 for 3k and you cant find one now for under 4k.
