If it is paint, it wont last, it will come off twice as fast in the sand.

Yea I did alittle experiment, stock rims arnt the best anyways. Im mounting my sand tires on them (I only ride sand like twice a year) and getting beadlocks for the woods. If the paint wears off then oh well, i can always buy new rims or get them powder coated.

They do look good though.

Just so you know stock rims are actually pretty darn good. They have held up much better than any of my non-beadlock rims.:o

Looks good but be careful with the white plastics.I race MX and after a day the section behind the pegs where the boot rubs is a total mess...

Looks nice. The paint will begin to wear off after a while though.

Rust-Oleum Industrial Level. I sanded them up real good and put on 1 coat of primer. Them I put 6 coats of gloss black on, 1 coat a day and let them sit outside to sun bake. And finished them off with 1 coat of clear coat. My buddy put my sand tires on today for me and the paint started chipping right off he said. lol oh well.
