Default Can i paint over my bedlined wheels?

I recently used duplicolor bedliner to paint my wheels. It turned out okay but thought the color would be a darker black. is it possible for me to paint over my bedlined wheels? If I can, what prep is needed?

Tough call, paint usually doesn't like to stick to rubber. You'd probably need some type of primer with some flex in it so it won't crack, same with the topcoat. Acetone will be helpful for prepping too. Have you tried a second coat of bedliner for a darker shade ?

A friend recommended rustoleum bedliner for a darker finish so I will see how that goes. I didn't know how sketchy it would be definatly don't wanna mess anything up
