My niece's 06 Elantra's wheels need to be repainted. Does anyone have any suggestions what works best? I know Rust-o-leum makes a "wheel spray paint"....
Also need to know what was the stock finish? Flat Black? Semi-Gloss? thanks in advance, Steve -------------------- A proud member of the club.

I believe Oem is semi-gloss. I like the Duplicolor wheel paint, I've also had good results with Rustoleum wheel paint.
If you prep the wheels properly both will last a long time. I sprayed my wheels with Duplicolor caliper paint over 3 years ago and it's held up great. -------------------- 2000 Elantra

I sprayed my wheels with Duplicolor caliper paint over 3 years ago and it's held up great. I agree. When I painted my wheels I did a couple of coats of self-etching primer, then a few coats of color, then 2 coats of clear. Has weathered the last 3 years pretty well. -------------------- QUOTE (Veloster.org) - MTD - "As long TCS is defeatable like in the current Genesis, I dont have a problem with it." - GreyGhost12 "Anything is "defeatable" with a set of snips...

I found the Dupli-color Engine Paint in low-gloss black to do quite nicely. couldn't find any "wheel paint" locally.
thanks everyone for their help, her ride looks MUCH better now. -------------------- A proud member of the club.
