Might paint rims....use primer?
This is a dumb question, but should I use primer if i decide to paint my rims? I painted my RRM intake without primer and it came out fine. If I just use good sand paper and make it nice and paint-"worthy", would it still be okay?
Also, what brand/type of paint do you recommend? i.e., what is longest lasting, strongest, etc. I want to do flat black to go along with my front bumper.
Thanks!

but to answer your few questions, here it is.
Use sand paper and acetone to clean the rims. 400-600 grits. Definitely use primer while painting rims. about 3-5 coats. 15 minutes between each. Duplicolor was what I used. i have driven mine for 4000 miles and had a few rock chips. Gloss black definitely! I will have new pictures in a few days.
