Painted mine with Hammerite, took 30 mins to get a good coat on (Did both wheels on the same side at the same time ) Then I left them to dry for 30mins, put the second coat on, waited another 30mins, popped the wheels back on, did the other side, and didnt drive the car for 24 hours (except parking it back in my garage).
Now they've done 5000 miles and not even a flake, still look mint.
i am definately painting mine once i finally buy the bushido's that i have got my eye on! which should be soon pending a nice 18th birthday in a couple of weeks!!
