As if my bright blue 1991 needed to be brighter. I painted my wheels Sunday. Only took about two hours, and it came out nice. I did this with my Blazer and everyone loved it after they saw it. When I told people I was going to do it though, different story! Everyone said it would look like crap....now they all like it! So do I.

 

Sniper X, how did you paint them?

 

I pulled the wheels off the truck, used a thin cardboard between the tyre and rim, and used rustolem Bright Yellow paint. I prepped them with 3m scotch pads lightly (they were new right before I got the truck) and cleaned them with brake parts cleaner and let them dry for about an hour before painting them. Oh, and I painted the chrome things in the center satin black whilst at it.

 

Great job, I like the contrast with the yellow and black on the inside. I painted mine while they will still on, but did not get around the lug nuts, but that is covered up by the hub cap. I might go ahead and pop off the tires like you did and paint the rest.

 

Looks good - nice work

 

Looks like an old macho power wagon. Is your blue the factory paint?

 

Mine was blue before but a same shade metallic electric blue. This paint job is horrid....someone did it without prepping the truck at all it seems. I am going to have it repainted at One Day some time in the spring since it only costs about 300 dollars for a damn sight better paint job than this. I will sand all this junk off first before I take it to be painted ans strip all the parts off before that too.

 

Thanks man! I didn't pull the tyres, just pulled the wheels off the truck and used a mask in the slot between the tyre and wheel. On AT TA's KOs there is a rim / bead protector that leaves a channel between the tyre and rim so the cardboard fit in there perfectly. I used a box from Twinkies to do it! HAHAH!

 

Here's a pic of my old Diesel Blazer I did the wheels on. It was silver where it is white in this pic before I did the wheels too. I did the white on the truck then the yellow wheels in a day and it turned the truck into a looker instead of yet another invisible blazer.

 

Call me crazy but I like it. Kinda like the Macho Power Wagons. Just need a nice yellow accent stripe with Power Ram or something to really make it pop.

Just curious if your top was repaired. It looks like a line above the door. If so, show some pics. I'm in bad need of some new skin above my windshield. Mine's completely rusted out.
