Painting Stock Steel Wheels Tomorrow

I have the stock steel silver wheels on my truck and im going to paint them tomorrow. Im going to sand them to scuff them up and then i am going to clean them with acetone and let them dry and paint them with seld etching primer and then some wheel paint i bought at Autozone.

Any tips or Tricks i need to know????

 

sounds like you about got it covered man.

Thanks

subscribed...waiting for pics

 

Ill post some more in a little while

 

Love the front plate.

 

x2...........my favorite.

 

Thanks what do yall think of the wheels?

 

i think they look pretty good man. are you leaving the centercaps chrome,or are you gonna match them?

 

I cant decide and i am missing one too so i need to get one.
What do you think looks better?

 

honestly...and its just my opinion, but i'd paint them to match. use adhesion promoter on them after you wash them and then paint them.....it will holdd up good and look great.

 

Wheels look good, match the center caps

 

ur wheels look good man, but i think u should match the caps with the wheels.

for the people that have black wheels, when u all have ur wheels/tires balanced, do u let them (tire people) put the weights on the outer part of the rim lip, or inside the rim?

 

my wheel weights are on the outside wheel lip. im gonna just paint them as i did my wheels, so they dont stand out. should have done it a good while back...been too damn lazy.

 

thanks man, i didnt think of painting over the weights, good idea though!

 

Well, I was only able to get 3 of my wheels painted tonight, and now it's too dark to finish... as it is now, I still need to do another coat out in the yard holding a flashlight...


But overall they look great... I'm sure it'll look good tomorrow driving down the road with 3 black wheels...

Oh well, pics tomorrow...
