Rim Paint
There are many options for personalising your car. When you want to customise your vehicle's wheels, painting your rims is a quick and easy way to do this. Many high-end automotive manufacturers distinguish themselves with painted rims. Wheel paints are sold in rattle cans, aka aerosol cans. The spray paint typically contains 4 ounces of actual paint, 2 to 3 ounces of solvent, and about 5 ounces of compressed air (propellant). When you press the nozzle with your fingertips, the propellant pushes on the paint, forcing it out of the tube and onto a surface area.
