I have the polished clad wheels and was wondering if I painted the spokes blaxk if it would hold up. I was planning on prepping it and doing all the primer and using the best paint possible.

 

i tihnk it would ok, if you sanded down the wheel pretty good and degrease it..do like 2 layers of primer a few layers of black and like 3 layers of clear it should do fine .. ask a body shop or somethin and they'll tell ya

 

I photoshopped mine a while back, it looked cool, I will see if I can find that pic for you

 

does anyone have any idea of how many primer, paint, clearcoat cans i should get for all four wheels.

 

The best paint does not come out of cans.

Should consider either

1. Get a old set of rims and do those, in case it does not work. Then sell your originals
2. Get them powder coated.

 

somebody actually did this on the forum... I can't remember who maybe maxracer00? maybe whoever did can chime in but i do remember seeing pics and him talking about how he did it.

 

I found a picture. The user is Max00Racer. Here is a picture....
