Too funny!
This was my last old International work truck....

 

That's awesome!

 

Right.
Went down to the boat marina this morning with my coffee. The wind was whipping around pretty good. I didn't even get out of the truck.

 

Hey guys and Miss Sue-
I don't always post but I do keep up on the reading-this thread is therapy for me! I feel like a fool sitting here laughing at my laptop, but it does help to take the edge of off life.
Quick question-if I wanted to paint my rims something other than black, what would y'all suggest? I have a color in mind, just would like to hear your ideas. Seeing some of your rigs I can tell you have good taste.
Thanks for any input/ideas/smart-ass answers.

 

That's on my wish list.
I think @Casper66 did his himself.
I want a bronze or flat tan myself. I guess a wheel paint or leftover gun epoxy paint.

 

I'm in trouble.
Watching cooking shows.

 

Kevin what color is your truck?

 

Superwhite.

 

Is yours black Mike?

 

when I was looking for my softtopper I wanted a tan one, then maybe tan rims to match. I found a used one for $250, but it was black. My buddy says my truck looks "tactical"-I don't like that "look".

 

No, it looks that way in my avatar. Its the jade metallic something-or-other. Green.

 

Unlike many these days I'm still a fan of good ol fashion chrome. If I were going for paint I'd probably go with powder coating for the durability.

 

Okay.
Yea bronze or tan would look cool I think.
I keep touching up my rock dings with white but I'd like a flat tan . No shine. And I'm not into black rims. Different strokes for different folks.

 

I think your truck would look nice with gunmetal wheels.I saw 16 with TRD gunmetal wheels on a white truck,looks sharp. Safe color color choice,easy to tie in with other accents. I would powdecoat, real durable. Or buy new wheels, but I'm gunmetal baised.

 

It had chrome "overlays"-kinda like form-fitted hubcaps on it when I got it from my dad (RIP pops, thanks for the truck). They always looked cheap to me, so I took them off. Powder coating would be good, but what color?

 

Looks good

 

Are you good on computer?
Take a pic of truck and color rims to see what'd it'd look like?
I'm not a pc geek. @Cypherian is

 

Jim, this is the color I am looking at. You my good man are very intuitive, and you have good taste!

 

There's some photo shop gurus around here on TW (not me). Maybe post a full size profile pic of your truck.

 

Not enough to photo shop rims-but a good idea.
