Chrome spray paint. Does it work on rims ?
Let's try out this chrome spray paint on my old Chev Cruze rims.
The clear coat is completely gone, let's sand them down to bare aluminum and shoot a coat of chrome paint on them.

Seems easy enough that you could do this once a year to keep it fresh and nobody will ever notice they were painted lol

I think it is a really nice finish on those alloys. It's a shame the paint isn't very durable. I'd love to see the condition after 3 months of daily driving.

It's not horrible actually. It's definitely a 10 footer but not a big investment. Thanks for viewing !

Looks good, but apply 3 coats of clear lacquer, this will enhance the chrome effect and protect the paint.

Hey you found a good indoor project to keep you busy. I think it looks great. Kinda hard to see the difference on video but in person I’m sure it was a huge difference. For sure better than that peeling clear coat. I thought you were gonna go over it with a clear coat? I bet that would have made them pop even more. Even so, Great job!

Never call it chrome. It is matte silver. Why do they put chrome mirror blank caps on that crap? To make you buy the product? You need to file a complaint with the Federal trade commission. They have to put the cap that is exactly like the result of painted surface. Matte.
