thanks bear , i think powder coating or anadizing would hold up a little better but much harder to touch up . i planned on beating them against rocks so picked this method for ease in fixing after tearing them up . anodizing may cost alot they would have to strip them down to raw aluminum . some here are getting powder coating for 60 to 100 bucks per wheel .

Paint sounds like a great idea.

Topic back from the dead:

What kind of paint did you use? i cleaned my spare and primed it, then sprayed it with some paint from eastwood that is MADE for wheels. I can literally scatch it off with my fingernail.

I scuffed mine, as did Neo, but I sprayed them with the bedliner stuff, Held up great.

Dang, did you use the Duplicolor bedliner? i used that on my grill and i find that stuff to be pretty brittle. I scuffed up my grill REALLY well, and a few rock chips later, i'll have to do it again. it seems like a rock hits it and breaks of a big chunk. come to think of it, i've NEVER had good luck with paint. maybe i'll try that Fusion paint for the grill.

i think duplicolor makes a wheel paint
