Rim Paint
There are many options for personalising your car. When you want to customise your vehicle's wheels, painting your rims is a quick and easy way to do this. Many high-end automotive manufacturers distinguish themselves with painted rims. Wheel paints are sold in rattle cans, aka aerosol cans. The spray paint typically contains 4 ounces of actual paint, 2 to 3 ounces of solvent, and about 5 ounces of compressed air (propellant). When you press the nozzle with your fingertips, the propellant pushes on the paint, forcing it out of the tube and onto a surface area.

If you are looking to add style to your car, or if your old car needs to be revitalized, painting your wheels could be the magic touch you need.
