Im thinking about painting my wheels to give them a newer look. Any thoughts on it?

 

detail overload

 

1) What color is your car
2) What color are your wheels currently
3) What color do YOU want
4) Please do not spray paint them. (POWDERCOAT! Less than $100 a wheel.)
5) Thank you.

 

I want to go to look at the TV. What do you think?

 

Bud. I'm in the process of doing a complete DIY guide to paint the rims. It should be done in a week or so. Im still in the process of doing it. I dont have much time so it takes a bit longer.

 

opinions? yeah paint them

 

ive always thought it was wierd that people paint their stock rims. i figure just save up for some real rims. but i dunno. ive seen some really good jobs on this site

 

There has to be some kind of special paint especially formulated for the rims to take the beating of the elements and the wear...

I mean I have seen painted rims but when they start chipping/cracking away they look like shit........or else one just keeps touching them up every now and then.........ah well that is a hassle.........


or just take a sander and buff them off well this might also need some ocassional care as the buffing might start to blacken........

any thoughts

 

 

There is special rim paint, it's ceramic i think

 

I'll be using my stock wheels for winter tires, and will be painting them too. I've painted the steelies on my jeep with a rattlecan and they looked good for almost a year... I really only need it to make it through winter really... it should be good right?

 

engine paint ftw, IF u want to paint
