Well I figured I would try to save some money and ended up rattle canning them.  Used a high adhesion primer after wiping down the wheels with alcohol.  Then used the Rustoleum Hammered in black.  They turned out real sharp. I let the tire shop know that I expected them to scuff when the new rubber got installed.  They greased them up and the only real damage was from the center cap installation.  Just a couple of 1/8" or so chips on each rim.  The hammered is easy to touch up and never notice so it was an easy fix. Really happy with how they look.  We will see how the paint holds up, but only out $20 and some time vs $300 and run around time.  I will get some pics up in a few days. 
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Nice.
Can't wait to see pictures.
Did you clear coat them?

No, no clear coat.  Just the Hammered.  I have used it on various other projects and it has held up really well.  Easy to touch up.
The factory clear coat on the fender flares I had added to my Super Duty was bubbling off a few years ago. I sanded the bubbles off and sprayed them with Hammered.  That was in 2015.  They still look like they are newly done.  The poor thing sits outside all year too (unfortunatly).  I under coated the Ford with it in 2012.  Except for the leaf springs, it is all still covered.  All I did for prep was hose it all down good.
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Nice, I’ve used hammered paint on my flag pole steel base and it holds up.

A better pic of the rig. I have gotten a couple of rock chips on the rear wheels the last two weeks from all the "sand" on the roads. So far so good.

Rattle canned my last set of rims on my old truck and it held up great to everything except brake dust!  Especially the front rims, they were satin black but would get a blue hue to them after a bit.

Been thinking powder coat on the new rig?

 :hello:

A 6 year follow up.  The rattle can paint jobs on two sets of rims have held up very well.  They get nicks from rocks or from impact sockets, but are super easy to touch up. 

If I had it to do again, I would forgo the primer. I think the Hammered would have adhered better to the rim clear coat than it does to the primer. Its flakes off when it does chip.  Pops off at the point of impact vs a gouge, if that makes sense.. 

Over all, very happy with the rattle can paint for ease of maintenance,  longevity, and appearance. :tup:

Thanks for the update. I’m looking at ways to do my stock steel rims for my truck.
