What color to paint rims

EvanMellott · Oct 2, 2011

If you don't mind can you please post a photo of your rim and tell what color or brand you painted it with. I'm trying to figure out which color of silver is best for rims. Thank you

Photos won't do much good, between the resolution of the camera, the color temp/blend of the monitor you use, and its resolution, the answer is in the noise.
The rims were galvanized Usually electro plated galvanized, not hot dipped. If you look at any newly glvanized nails (not hot dipped you will see reality. A sample of several aluminum paints will give you a good match. I like a hammer tone aluminum from Rustoleum. Best of luck, Jim

I use a mid 60's Ford silver/gray... not too shiny but has a nice look.

I second the vote for the hammer tone aluminum from Rustoleum. Not too bright like the straight aluminum paint.
