Default Bed Liner Wheels

Has anyone bed linered there wheels? How complicated is it? I have plasti-dipped mine but everytime i wash the wheels, the plasti-dip chips off. I want something that i dont have to worry about and not chip off. So is bed liner a good solution?

I would think powder coating would be better. Or just clean them up real good and spray paint them.

I used rustolem brand spray on bed liner, didn't sand them or anything. I even left them on the jeep and just put rags over the brakes. They have held up just fine, it's been about 3 months and the only touch up I've had to do is after I got new tires put on just because I didn't like the slight amount of silver the machine caused.

The first day.

Thanks for the reply! I think i'll powdercoat them when I have some money. Do you have an estimate for five 16in. wheels?

This a pricing list from a shop near Charlotte, Nc. Guess it depends on how much you like your stock wheels. Looking back now I wish I had done this to my stock 18" and used wheel spacers.

Keep in mind one can of bed liner covered all 5 of my wheels, it was $10. but I used a second can to make it more durable and a thicker coat. $20 total for "new" wheels.
