Default Got my rims done

Here are some pics of my painted calipers and rims:




Calipers are the same color as the truck.

Believe it or not, I spray painted the rims. They are gunmetal color. The calipers are stock.

Hopefully that rattle can paint will last for you. I've seen some go to crap in a fewmonths.


What kind of prep work did you do?

All the clear has to come off before paint. Then I primed the wheels with 2 coats. The paint I used is actuall wheel paint. You can buy it in various colors. The color would have been a little lighter, but I wanted them darker so I used black primer.

You can probably get them to look like black chrome. Buy chrome handles and then coat them with Night Shade spray on window tint by VHT. It should give you the black chrome look.
