I think it might turn out looking good, but we are talking about rims here!! I mean rocks, sand etc. is just going to chip the paint off....

You're talking about the guy who painted his fuel rails right? That did look good but I'd never do it. Don't remember why but we had some chrome spray paint at my parent's house and we used it and no matter what we painted it would chip off.

werd, I skipped over the part about it being for rims. In that case, like other's have said with rocks and all the dirt it'd experience, that'd be too risky to try.

If you look at my updated cardomain and look at my grill, that is spray painted chrome, it turned out more silver and started to rust away after about a month. Dont risk it
