New custom wheels

sweet graphics

 

No prob always happy to help . I didn't do clear coat cause I wanted to keep the matte look. I did two coats to make sure it was thick enough and as it dried did a little bit of touch up where needed.

I did mine within 24 hours. It would have been faster but my parents only had two jack stands so I had to do it two at a time. The most time consuming part was waiting for the paint to dry (about 5-9 hours for it to be dry enough to handle for Rustoleum, which I used). I know if you use Krylon it takes an hour or 2 to be dry enough to handle, but I've heard Rustoleum is better quality.

 

nice! did you cover the tires when you painted the rims?

 

Nope, but the paint comes off the tire pretty easily with a scrub brush

 

I likey. Good job.

 

Nice job man!

 

Haha I'm used to it

Oh and, ryanjboutin, the black gorilla nuts look nice! Thanks! It's definitely got me thinking...

 

Oh yes I loove black gorilla nuts lol

 

Almost like the center of a black widow! Don't touch!!!

 

Nice job. You seem to be a rare girl, not many I know that would even attempt to do something like this.

 

Yup, I'm my own unique blend of girl. Not too much of a tomboy, and definitely not a girly girl!

 

Good job! Can't wait to see them in person.

 

Thanks, Seth. On Mod Day if anyone wants to do similar I'm willing to help

 

Not to shabby....for a girl

I keed I keed

I just did mine a month or so ago and they are holding up very well.

 

WOW! Those look awesome. Rep point for you.

 

Looks good, good job I think it woulda looked pretty cool if you did a red ring around the outside of the wheel. My $.02 Looks good though

 

Thanks!

 

The Gorilla Lugs are nice but pretty expensive. Summit has their own brand of powder coated lugs that are pretty nice and a hell of a lot cheaper. I got a set a few months back. Ive kinda got 2 toned red and black wheels. However I have been contemplating the Gorilla red lugs.

Looking good...................

 

just curious, ive been looking through a lot of posts on posts regarding painting/powdercoating rims and almost all the trucks have left the nuts unpainted, is that because people think it looks cool or because when you go to take the tire/wheel off the wrench youre gonna use will take the paint off
