Thinking about painting stock rims?

I figure black rims all look the same for the most part. Anybody have any luck or pics of their painted stock 15's

 

Just did these two days ago

 

Thanks for the pic. How did you do it? Did you just spray paint them or what? Sorry noob here

Im a noob as well, and this was pretty easy to follow, just got my tacoma two weeks ago!! Good Luck, I used Rust Oleum flat black

 

just did this last weekend. looks great, just used degreasing cleanser, then sanded it down with 400grit paper, then used VHT Epoxy , it came out AWESOME.

 

Joben7726 those look great! i want to see how they look on a super white taco. i'm painting the badges black this weekend but i think i'll hold off and see whether it looks good (imo of course) or not. Joben7726/JMCTacoma think you guys can post some pics of your trucks now?

 

I did "Storm Grey" on mine. (+ black center caps and 225/75/15 tires)

 

Did mine 6 months ago. Very easy mod, just time consuming if you do it properly. If you search around you will find a lot of threads on how to do it, every one has slightly different steps.

 

That looks better than the black IMO.

 

Here are some pics for ya

 

Back in the old days

 

Thanks for all the pics. So did you guys just do one side of the truck at a time? Or did you put the truck on blocks for a day until the paint was dry

 

I did the whole truck at once. Just put it on jack stands.

 

I am thinking about doing this mod as well, but I might try that plastic dip stuff so if I dont like it I can just peel it off.

 

Black rims with black everything else was a little to much for me. I like black, but even I can admit when it's to much. Plus I wanted to do something a little different than black, lots of people have done that.

I was honestly going for something that looked a little more like the FJ TRD rims.

I am very pleased with the way these turned out. The truck looks so much better and then adding the new tires on top if really makes sit a lot better and look more aggressive.

 

sorry guys, i havent been on this thread in a few days, i posted some new pics on my profile, it looks great! any questions, feel free to PM me

 

what brand of paint did you use for the "storm grey"? i want to paint mine a darker color but not really liking the way black looks.

 

Duplicolor..they offer a bunch of cans of Brand specific colors. It's the GM Storm Grey.

 

i hate to say it but that was just a little bit obvious. thanks for the info. now another reason to look at all the cars i see everyday.

 

Painted my black with Cheap Epoxy Paint from Advanced auto... I used some painters tape and got it done cheap and it looks great!
