great job and it looks awsome I am really thinking about do the badges on my truck now. thanks for the insperation.

 

Did you use regular spray on the wheels? Or atleast Caliper spray that has Ceramic in it for durability.
I personally wouldn't paint mine. I would have them powder coated. That's the only real way to make them last.

They look good right now though. Looks like you did a quality job. Not too hard to scuff quickly again in the near future and throw on another few coats to freshen them up! Just a PIA is all.

 

A properly prepared and painted wheel will last a long time. Hell mine keep geting hit with snow and road salt and they still look like new. Plus, powdercoating is so much more expensive than paint that wheels can be painted 5, 6, 7 times or more before getting close to the same cost as powdercoat.

 

WOW

i have to say that truck is on my top 5 list now. i love the look of the black on silver. then hints of black with the badges. i love it

 

Did you have the flat aluminum wheels or the chrome clad wheels.

 

I too agree, it looks great. Only thing i would have done different would be only painting the spokes leaving an aluminum looking edge and maybe chrome center cap. But thats simply a matter of personal taste. Damn nice work, and the badges especially the 1500 on the door...nice contrasting look.

 

"thanks guys!! im going to think hard on painting those tips black! just hate to pay for chrome tips and paint over it!!!"

whats retail on the new era 20s? not $60.

anyways, its your truck, looks good.

 

So brushed or clad.
