i want to paint my wheels balck b/c they are all chipped up and i was wondering

a) has anyone else done this (pics)

b) do i need a clear-coat if i just use the dupli color rattle paint? or is the paint it self fine? really what i want to know is what are the steps to doing this


Thanks

To answer your first question, it has been done. I did mine last year and they are holding up great. I wasn't sure how well they would last with all the salt they use around here but so far so good.

I used the duplicolor products, both the paint and clear. If you are going to use the clear there is a certain time window after painting that you have to clear the rim.

Here is a pic of the finished product.

 

Also, here is a link to a write up about how I went about painting my rims.

hey do you guys think black stock rims will look good on my silver truck

 

I think they would look good. You should post up a pic and see if someone will photochop it for you so you can see what it would look like before you do it.

 

heres one of my truck

 

thanx silver that looks nice i think im gonna do it and black out the head and tails i like how your truck looks

 

no problem. yea i think i might do it too but later. right now im working on painting the grill silver to match and then the mirrors and door handles
