Don't know how durable the paint would be, trying to bond and not release over time. I took mine in and had them powder coated. It will never come off, you can use wheel cleaners and have the peace of mind they will last. Cost me abot $35 ea. to have powder coated. Good luck...........

You would have to sand em down real good & do a base coat clear coat on em & bake em in a paint booth, itll hold up if u take care of em right

My rims are painted, just make sure you take your times and do each step correctly (primer, paint, clear) and let them settle, mine have held up fine so far:
