if you don't exercise your mind nothing will ever stick to it. If you were truely lazy ....the minimum you can do is go to the store and pick up a can of wheel paint and read it ..better yet get the clerk to read it for you , tell them you have a migrane or something.

:devil:

If they are plated chrome, it will not be worth the effort. If they are polished to look chrome you may have to do a chemical etch process, and fine sanding, possibly use a prep tool with abrasive discs. The duplicolor wheel paint system works good, I am sure there are other paints you could use though.
(information that may not be on the can.. :))

telling people your too lazy to search is only gonna piss people off. This question was asked like 2 days ago and is still on the front page of this section of the forum.

man you are not going to fit in here at all if you keep up the attitude. It's not hard to use the search button. At the very least look through the titles of the first page of threads that pop up when you search. We aren't telling you to read every thread ever made.

basically don't be a troll or a /b/tard. If you want to do that then go to 4chan.

if they are chrome and you want to paint them,you are going to have to sand with 180 grit, then use some self etch primer on the metal. duplicolor makes it in a spray can also. this will give the paint something to attach to.
