Hello everyone... Does anybody know what is the name of the paint and color of the ram's night runner wheels? My truck has these black chrome clad wheels but they need to be repainted and I have no idea what is the name of the color neither the kind of paint it has... I posted a link of the picture for you guys to see what I'm talking about. Also, I know somebody who knows how to paint them but he told me to get the paint for him but I need to know first before I buy it.

i dont think you can really paint them to get a match i know there are places that do a black chrome plating that is pretty expensive that gives it that effect

 

My friend told me that it's possible to paint them because it's not real chrome, it's just a plastic hard cover which is good because it's easy to paint, he has done paint jobs of this kind, the problem is finding the actual paint color. Also, the original black paint that it has is starting to peel off and the chrome clad is in great condition so if I remove the black paint I will have a nice chrome wheel but I don't want that since it's the Night Runner version.

 

Go to an auto parts store and look for night shades paint I think that's what its called it a black clear coat that gives you the black chrome look

 

duplicolor makes something called shadow , never tried it nor have i seen it but meijer and places like that sell it around me

 

^that's what its called it has two cans in it the black tint and a clear

 

Yeah, I've heard of something like that, I wasn't sure of the name though, thanks for the tips, I'll have a look on the DupliColor cans.

 

Shadow only works if you have a polished or chromed base to start with. It will not be "shiny" on its own. As far as the night runner wheels, they're not painted. It would be pretty difficult if not impossible to get the same look through paint. The plastic chrome clad covers are actually coated.

 

Actually some of the original coating has peeled off, and the chrome clad underneath is pretty clean and intact, if I remove the whole thing I will have a nice shiny chrome wheel but that's not going to look good on the night runner version. Do you know what kind of coating it is? It doesn't have to be the exact same color, just similar, and not too dark either. I was wondering, do you think the dealer will sell that kind of coating? I don't know what it's called though.
