    I've been wanting to paint my steel wheels and I'm on the fence...

    My silver paint might clash with the silver only hub caps..

    Just interested to see if anyone has done flat black or any other color...

    Thx..

    Remove from truck Sand down gloss of existing paint. Wire brush off any rust if you have I skipped this step cause rims had no rust. Tape off valve stem and used index cards between rim and tire so paint didn’t get on tire. Light coats let dry then next coat repeat till satisfied. Used 2in1 let dry for a few hours
