Choice of paint

Not every paint is suitable:

Ordinary paint for the body cannot cope with the operational loads that the wheel rims are subjected to. A special tool is required.

Types of paints for discs:

• Alkyd enamels: quick drying, affordable, but less resistant to chips and scratches.
• Acrylic enamels: more elastic and resistant to fading, have a wide palette of colors.

What to pay attention to when buying:

In addition to the type of paint, the following characteristics are important:

• Heat resistance: the paint must withstand high temperatures when the brake discs are heated.
• Adhesion: good adhesion will ensure a strong adhesion of the paint to the disc surface.
• Color and effect: choose a color to match the car's style. There are paints with a metallic effect, chrome and matte.

Tips from professionals

• Don't skimp on paint! Quality paint will last longer and save you time and money on rework.
• Before painting, you need to prepare the wheels: remove old paint, rust and degrease.
• Think about protection: after painting, cover the wheels with a special varnish for additional protection against chips and scratches.

Rim painting is a great way to update your car. Choose the right paint and follow the painting technology, and the wheels will delight you with their shine for many years.
