Paint the Stock Rims?

sickk thanks so much for the help. I'll be sure to come to you if I have any more questions

 

No problem, when are you doing it?

 

the primer color shouldnt matter right? and hopefully over this weekend

 

No it's shouldn't but just go to Autozone and get the self etching primer...you will only need two cans at the most.

If you need help just holler and I'll do what I can from the comfort of my chair lol

 

try to change my parents minds and make them let me do it... lol

 

I had to convince my dad too, but after I said it was my truck and I want to do it then he backed off.

Are you making the payments?

 

parents are making the payments =/ i already bought the primer paint and sandpaper too...

 

What are they worried about?

PS I wouldn't use sand paper, get the steel wool it's easier to conform to the sides of and different angles.

 

my dad is worried about it looking bad and me making it impossible for him to sell it someday.

 

Those rims are a dime a dozen and you can always upgrade them to the new gen wheels as guys on here are always looking to sell them.

Plus show him the photo of the wheels black, I think they look bad ass.

But in the end it's their truck and they are your parents, respect their wishes and they may come around. You can return the supplies you have and get your money back.

 

My dad suggested getting it done professionaly. I couldn't find a place to do it for cheaper than 100 dollars a wheel. At that rate I would rather buy some new rims.

 

There's no point in doing it professionally.

Tell you what, if you want PM me and I'll give you my phone number and have your dad call me. I can tell him how I did mine and how they turned out, tell him he can ask me any question about the process and I'll answer them for him. Otherwise, you will just have to be satisfied with stock wheels for now. Sorry bud...

 

do it, then I'll know if I wanna go back to stock wheels and paint mine.

 

once you go black you will never go back

 

Haha I will ask my dad if he would want to talk to you. Me and my buddy really wanna do it ourselves cuz we enjoy working on our own trucks.

 

yeah I'll post pics if I do it. what kind of wheels do you have on right now?

 

I painted mine last summer. Turned out great.

 

Just did mine this week and they turned out really good and only $30 bucks

 

did you leave a rim of silver.. i like i like.

 

I'm honestly not that big of a fan of black wheels - but this guy has been doing anthracite powder-coating. I think it looks stunning.
