Default Paint on AL Rims
Will paint stay on stock aluminum rims or will it peal off?

Like with anything you paint, you need to sand down then paint. People paint alum all the time.

Somebody on here wrote about using paint intended for aircraft propellers...
Do a search for it, it supposedly holds up better than regular paint.
HTH!

Most factory rims are painted and at least clear coated, so yes I'd agree with yes!
