Did a quick photoshop - what do you guys think?

I wanted to see how it wold look if I painted my wheels so I did a quick Photoshop. Let me know if you guys think I should do it. And, if so, I'm sure there is a best practices for wheel painting on here some where maybe someone could direct me to it.

Before:


After:

 

I like the satin finish! Do it, do it, do it.


No peer pressure

 

Those look good! let me find a link to a wheel write up really quick.

Edit: Something like this, there are other ones out there as well http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/197769-paint-those-damn-wheels-already.html

 

x2 looks good

 

do it, I am so happy I did mine.

 

Paint them!

 

I don't get the correlation between rock crawling and black wheels LOL

 

I see a lot of "do its" and only a couple "donts" so I think I will just do it hahah

 

Sweet - perfect, thanks for the link!

 

I say paint them. Looks good

 

I'd derp them...plasti dip = win (and reversible)

 

I'm doing it this weekend! If I get ambitious I'll do a quick write of my experience. Decided to go with the satin black finish. Thanks for all the feedback!

 

Good man! And of course, good luck!

 

nice truck dude. What'd different on it vs the previous 2nd gen regular cabs...

 

Not really sure, I don't see a lot of them especially not 4x4s.

 

Jason, if you haven't already done them, have you thought about bedliner? my truck and off road trailer wheels are both bedlined (rustoleum aerosol). holds up like nothing else, nice satin-matte finish, and you even get a very light texture (think 120 grit sand paper)

 

I didn't get a chance to do it this weekend thanks to rain. Whats the procedure for this? Same as painting them?

 

Just scuff them up with a scotchbright pad, and wipe them clean with a rag and some brake cleaner. They'll dry off when you're taping off the tires (i only taped over the side of the tire that faces out). Then just spray away. Did two coats on mine and they hold up great, even while wheeling.

 

Finally got a chance to do my wheels! Thanks for all the help and suggestions from you guys!
