Has anyone painted their stock GE8 wheels?

mine have been done for about 2 yrs now. i have a little chipping, but not much. i could probably touch it up, but it's just a couple nicks. not bad for 2 yrs. i'll prob just buy new rims when i need new tires next time.

Yeah but jnessel , yours like a gunmetal, right.... So little nicks
& scratches wouldnt be that noticeable given what you had after u steelwooled. (read ur thread)
What about if i wanna go black..... U think it wont be very durable?

No, it's not bad, but I'm a little picky. Black would be fine, just do an extra coat or two of the clear that's made for wheels (it holds up a little better than regular automotive clear from my experience). Post some pics when you finish!

Industrial Protective Coatings & Adhesives, Plastic Coatings, Protective Foam Coatings
Its a rubberized coating, typically used for tool handles. Its really tough, but if applied correctly, peels off without leaving any residue.

Where did you get those center caps man? Those would look so nice on the 16 alloys with my CBP Fit!

I found them on Ebay. Not sure what year Civic they are from. I had them powered coated when I had the wheels done. Unfortunately too much rust one one and now it is full of holes. They are a force fit over the center of the steelie. The soft ring around edge was worn off so I just gave them a couple wraps of electrical tape around the edges.
Apparently some 2" electrical box caps will work as well. I am going to check those out.
Here is a pic of one and the wheel both powder coated.
