I took a shot at painting my own wheels. I purchased a paint gun for my compressor at Harbor Freight for $20 and went to NAPA and purchased $14 worth of automotive black paint, reducer, and hardner.
It took me about 3 hours to properly clean the wheels. They had a good 14 years worth of crud on them. Laid a bunch of plastic down in the back yard, mixed up the paint and got to spraying. Was pretty straight forward. Thanks to RobX-7 guiding me through. Put 3 coats on, turned out pretty well for my first time paitning this way. Now I just need to paint the rest of the car... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif |

Looks nice..

You gonna paint the car with that too? They came out nice.
|
Good Job, those at first I didn't like those rims in black but they grew on me.
|
Looks good. I'm thinking of painting the wheels on the sport black too.
|
Do they have to be buffed smooth first to look decent? My 5-lug GXL rims seem to have a sort of texture on them.
For $34, that's awesome! |
No, these wheels have a texture on them as well. They just have to be cleaned very thoroughly. I think the texture helps the paint to adhere.

why did you paint your wheels when your car is pink??
black t2 rims look like ass |
