Yes you can. PD makes a great primer. I dipped my rims and sprayed them with paint and clear coat only, no primer. 3 months old and still looks great.

Where's a good place to get the stuff and is it packaged in various forms? Only one brand or several? Typical price?
I was thinking of doing the front - basically a bra type effect - for summers. Tough to clean off the bugs - be neat to peel them off in the fall.

I got a can from Lowes...it was an 11oz can for just under $7. And the had a 16oz one (sold out), I forgot how much it was...plus you can get them in bigger sizes online.
Are those stock rims?
Did you guys get the chalk from Toys R US??

for people in the US sure, Canadians if were lucky to find it have to pay closer to $20 for the smaller can and its not available in as many places.

so what exactly do you need to paint your rims? what brands did you use, etc?
This is all I used:
I scrubbed the rims as clean as possible with dish soap and water and rubbed them down with acetone afterwards to make sure everything was extra clean. I only used the anti-rust paint because that is the color I wanted, I would assume you could use any spray paint just fine.
Did you take the rims off to clean and paint them?
Yes, I had the rims off, I wouldn't attempt to spray paint anything still on the car. I did this while my winter rims were still on the car.
, it was actually really easy, you should try it! It looks even better with my mew grille and "lip".

Is that the ebay lip?
More or less the "Home Depot" lip.
