Painted my steelies...

Got sick of looking at the little rust spots on my rims, so I decided to paint em. I haven't seen any other Timberland Mica Tacos on here with painted steelies some thought I'd share the photos. Forgive the iPhone pics, and the truck isn't washed.

 

Looks nice.
What did you use?

 

Looks good, did you leave the tires on when you painted them?

 

Looks great. I gotta get off my ass & paint mine. They look like crap after being balanced so many times & weights moved around the rim.

 

I used these...

 

Yeah the tires were on, but the wheels/tires were off the truck. I used the index card trick, worked well...

 

Buddy owed me, so i had him paint mine. I used the metallic from my spruce mica in the black and it turned out ok.

 

Looks nice man...

 

That combination of green and the black wheels look amazing. The beer looks good as well.

 

I've been considering this on my tmica as well in matte black or gunmetal.. looks nice!

 

that looks great. especially on the base model trucks it comes out nice.

 

This is what I am thinking for my base model in indigo ink.

 

Sam I gotta do mine.

 

has anyone out there had any experience on whether a gloss or matt finish holds up better? my matt paint is holding up fine but immediately after spraying felt like i should have used a satin or gloss, which apparently looks great

 

That's it, I'm doing it. Will hold me over for awhile until I get new wheels.

 

That's another reason for me, I plan on getting new rims when these tires are shot so I figured it would be cool for now...

 

It came out lookin' real nice.
