Paint/Powdercoat wheels

Hey Im waiting to paint my 17" chrome stockers black and run them for a little bit with some grabber UHPs, does O'reillys sell a special paint can or something I can spray out of my gun with? Should I paint the Hubcaps too except the GMC Logo part? These are gonna be the wheels I run at the track or when I wanna have fun and such.

And...

I think my next wheel will be the new OEM Tahoe 20"s but I want to get them totally powdercoated black. Is there any member on this who does this that I could take the 20s to when I get them?

Go buy some black appliance epoxy to paint the wheels with. Clean them really good and spray the hell out of them. Epoxy won't chip and flake like softer paints will. Spray it far away from things you don't want stuck to forever because it's overspray does not come off easily.

Thanks Greg! Any Clear Coating or finish afterwards necessary or will it look sleek after the spray?

I have never used anything over it. It would be cool if they sold a clear epoxy spray. Its about like painting with Imron paints, be damn sure you want it on there because it will take a tough grinder to get it off.

Hey virgil whenever you get a chance see if you can get a price for OEM Tahoe 20s. (Can he do the center caps too cause they have the Chev. emblem on there and I want it all completely blacked out. I think these stockers I have now Im just gonna do the epoxy, Im not too worried about it lol.

Thanks again everyone
