Just painted my stock rims :-)
It only took 4 hours and I love it. I got tired of all the damn brake dust so I think I took care of that problem.

hopefully hte paint holds up. i rattledcan'd my stock wheels too. it looked good for 3-4 months and paint started to fade off.
it was even worst when i had a flat tire and went to get it fixed. they applied liquid around the outer part of the wheel when putting the tire back on and after they wiped off the liquid, the paint came off with it, lol.

I think it will hold up good. I sanded the rims first with 320 grit, then I washed them, I used a sandable gray car primer, and then I used 1 can per rim of gloss black engine block spray paint. If it starts to chip it will be easy to fix.
