Ok guys im thinking about painting my wheels tomm. and was wondering what type of paint/how many coats etc....I already read the write up but the wheels arent the same as mine used in the write up......I would love to see some before/after pics if you have them.......

Here are the wheels im planning on painting......

 

open that picture is paint and color the rims whatever color you want..it wont look perfect but you will get the idea of how it will look

 

I had some soft 8's that I painted gunmetal gray a few years ago. I used the rim paint from Advance Auto and it turn out pretty good. I sanded the wheels to scuff the surface and used three coats of paint. In the two years I had them like this I had no chipping or flaking and I barely even scratched or dinged them on and off road.

 

You think those wheels would even look good painted black?!?!?!

 

Hmmm im assuming this isnt a popular wheel that people paint huh?!?!?

 

I had some nasty rusty chrome wheels on a Toyota truck. Knocked some of the flaking chrome off, scuffed up and painted with some black Krylon that was on my shelf and cleared over the top. Looked good and seemed to hold up okay.

There is specific wheel paint you will find at the store if you want to do it right. Giver er a shot!

 

I have seen your wheels painted black a few times and I think they look great in black. I say do it. I am partial to black wheela anyway.

 

I have painted all of my wheels. all you need to do is take some sand paper to scuff them up some so the primer will stick... Go to your local Advanced or Napa and get some sandable primer if you want it to look good. Prime 1 coat sand... 2 prime sand 3 prime leave and let it dry real good. Then pick out what color you want.... I picked the duplicolor metalic black.. Spray one coat and sand with a light weight sandpaper if needed. then go over with one or two more coats or as many as it takes to get a good look... I even went over mine with a metalic clear coat for extra shine....

the key is to scuff and prime first or the paint will chip.

 

i kid at my school painted his rims like thoes to match his body color... they look really nice from a distance but up close they look really bad cause he used a brush to paint them and drew on designs with a sharpie. wat an idiot. lol ill try to get pictures of it tomorrow

 

Well i have only seen one Jeep with those wheels painted black but it was a long time ago....I have already painted my spare wheel that i have and it turned out alright i was just wanting to see all 4 of them mounted and painted......
