Powdercoat Black Rims Chipping

I jacked the truck up wit the bottle Jack that comes with the truck. I worked my way around the truck doing one wheel at a time, letting the truck rest on the bottle Jack( just make sure you don't go under the truck because it is not safe when resting on the bottle jacks). I started with cleaning the wheel with simple green,2. brushed the wheel with a wire brush that you put on your power drill,3. cleaned the wheel with asitone, 4. let it dry, 5. spray the wheel with the paint adhesive,6. primer, and 7. fineshed with the spray pain. I didn't use clear coat so I could tuch the wheel up when ever I needed to without sanding.

 

ok thanks alot yea thats alot easier than i was making it but how long does it take for the rims to dry on avg? im at school and would have to drive home and get it done one weekend

 

I would let them dry over night, just make sure it's worm out.

 

I left the tires on mine. I used tap to minimize over spray. I saw some photos of a guy used a deck of cards tucked between the rim and the tire. Index cards would probably work too.

I let mine dry overnight and took it easy (no water, mud, offroading) for about 3 or 4 days. Check the paint you use for the "Time to dry to the touch" and "time to cure"

 

so it has to be warm out?
problem with doing it outside.. is pollen is crazy all over the place
would the garage be good? just slower to dry probably

 

It doesn't have to be warm out, but it's best for the paint to dry properly.

I used my parents' garage and put a heater in there near the tires.

 

This is the thread I posted after I did my wheels. I have a lot of details in there about how I did it, and if you have other questions you can always ask!
