How much do you guys think it would be to get my stock 20"s painted?

For 40 dollars you can prob do it with rattle can, might last a few week before it starts to chip off, fade or peel. A proffesional would prob charge around 100-125 per wheel, for proper prep, base coat and high solids clear that is best for durability.

If you take ALOT of time prepping (sand, resand, resand, wetsand, degrease, prime, 2-3 coats paint, 2-3 coats clear, ample dry time in-between) I think it'll be pretty close to shop quality. Of course the whole process should take at least 4 hrs per wheel. A nice weekend project. If you just wash the wheel off and paint, don't bother. It'll chip and flake in two weeks.

My $100 was worst case. I bought sand paper, prepping chemicals, playing cards, cleaning products, 4 cans of paint. It was less than 100 . Just giving a ballpark

FXchosen1 painted his rims himself I believe and so far they still looking good.

take it to a shop and have it done right, it will always come out better and last longer with a professional job. The extra cash is worth it.

im actually going to do them again this Sunday, getting new tires so i figured i might as well them a new coat along with my grill

I agree shops would do better on the body and rob wheels. But wheels aren't really that hard. It was fun and saved a lot of $$$
