Painting Stock Rims darker color

Anyone have any suggestions on this?? I have found someone who will do all 4 for 100$! All I have to do is have them sanded.. I'm going to have them sandblasted I think and then have them painted a gun-metal color.
Thanks!
Allen

Dont paint. Powder Coat. There is a place that does it here for 45 per wheel. Also they will sand blast or bead blast for 10 per wheel. The finish is amazing and last 100x longer than paint and looks much better too.

But I'll look around

agree

I agree you need to powdercoat for durablilty and looks. Paint will wipe off faster than a 2dollar hoe.

Go for dark gunmetal or black!!
