    Has anyone spray painted a trials rim while it was built up?

    I am considering painting the rim to match an already spray painted
    trials frame. I am not going to pull apart the wheel to paint it, I
    don't have the time.

    I just need to know how long it might last and how badly it might
    chip?

    I don't care if the frame starts chipping away and the rim paint does
    too, it may give it character... or it may just look like...

    I dont think it will really chip that much, afterall it doesnt take the
    abuse a frame does when it hits stuff when it falls.

    Go for it, just make sure to take your time masking off the spokes and
    nipples and dont forget to lightly sand the rim.
