Hi all, just wanting to paint my stock rims high gloss black but want to use paint from a spay can. What would you recommend that has a tough durable finish to it to resist chips and tough scratching.

Cheers, Jeff

I would pick any color of black you like, and then top coat it with Eastwood Diamond Clear for painted surfaces. That will give you the best look and lasting finish from a rattle can.

Great idea Chris.   You might want to do a spray-out of your base color and Diamond Clear to test the look on something first, just to see how you like the look and to make sure the paints are compatible.    I'm sure Eastwood has a black aerosol they could recommend.
