  Hmm..your oz rims u getting are new rite?
  
  So wat's the point to spray paint on a new rims?
  
  U should drive it for a year or two den go for spraying.
  
  When your rims have some knocks will be the best
  
  Cheers,

  Shoudn't matter what type of metal it is. All should be able to re-spray.

  Thanks bro scott and bucket,
  
  the rims are 2nd hand... with a little scratches... am buying from someone whose car is about to get scrapped... plus i've always wanted to get white rims for my car tts why...
  
  so i guess its ok for me to proceed and buy the rims over then
  
  thanks for answering my queries...

  Just in case you decided to be a little bit adventural. Here's some tips I got from a friend on DIY.
  
  *****************Frank of Kelisa Club Singapore************
  ......I started to spray my rims of my various cars from Charade to Viki to Colt and then Vivio. I tried "all sort of patterns of spraying" and finally I did a good one for my friend's Getz and the result its perfectly good until today!
  
  Step 1: The rim must be cleaned.
  
  Step 2: Put the rim under the hot sun before spray job commence.
  
  Step 3: Spray layer by layer of high temp paint onto the rim (min 3 layers) under the hot sun.
  
  Step 4: Spray layer by layer of the colour paint of your choice (min 3 layers) under the hot sun. Recommend to use RJ and not Nippon Pylon (Famous of cracking under high temp)
  
  Step 5: Spray layer by layer of clear paint (min 3 layers) under the hot sun.
  
  Important note:
  - Your skill of spraying determine the finish of your rims!
  - Notice that I did everything under the sun.
  
  No of cans require.....
  = 2 cans of RJ high temp paint, silver
  = 3 cans of RJ moonlight blue paint
  = 2 cans of RJ clear paint
  
  Total amount spent: S$35 only
