Paint the whole rim or just the face
For those who have painted your factory rims black , did you paint the whole rim or just the face? Is there any need to paint the whole rim? Thanks.

I bedlined just the face. No need to bedline/paint the inside of the wheel IMO, no one sees it and its filthy anyway.
Started with my spare back around Thanksgiving to make sure it would turn out good and I liked the look. One thing led to another, and I just got back to finishing them up today and through the rest of this weekend. My GF is in Florida for 5 days, so I have a lot more free time to work on the JK without her getting pissed. So if you saw a red 2door running around Pittsburgh with the just spare bedlined, that was me!

I've painted both stock and aftermarket wheels using high temp. flat black spray paint and I've never had a problem, but i've only done the outside. I've never had the need to do the insides cause no one has ever noticed. I agree the longest process of it all is the sanding/cleaning step to prep the wheels... painting them (4 light coat for me) is nothing. But the prepping process is crucial to getting a solid paint job.
