Painting Stock Rims Easy

Thanks

 

Clean, Scotchbrite pads (the extra duty kind), sand, tack cloth, clean with alcohol, let dry, etc...

then prime and paint

 

Thanks. I checked on powder coating awhile back. Nobody near,within 40 miles.

 

There are pros and cons with powder coating your wheels.

Pros: More durable than paint, professional finish

Cons: Expensive. If you plan on wheeling they can and will get chipped, and touch up is impossible (versus easy touch up with paint)

 

I hear ya
Not as if im bored, nothing to do. I'd paint the inside of spokes, leave shiny smooth surface nat.
Someday.

 

What kind of paint did you use?

 

The spray kind

 

Looks great!!! I'm thinking of either doing this or plasti-dip my sport wheels. Great thread!

 

Looks great. Just found my first project when the weather breaks in the spring.

 

How do you get the red centercaps? You spray the centercaps black then paint the inside of toyota symbol center red with paintbrush? I bought all the supplies getting ready for the job.

 

Good write-up. Any diff on aluminum rims??

 

Nice write up and the wheels turned out awesome

 

Nice write up.

2 coats primer + 2 coats Rustoleum flat black...

 

Looks good! What size tires are these? Do they stick out from the body at all?

 

those look so much better. Nice write up

 

Thanks! 265/75/16's. There is no poke they line up perfectly with the body.
