What would you need to do to paint some stock wheels black or gunmetal? Would just wall paint work or would you have to get something more, for lack of a better word, resistant to scrapes from rocks showing through to the silver.

i just used regular ass flat black spray paint on my wheels... and havent gotten any chips at all.. BUT there is some paint made specifically for wheels.. they make it in white/black/gunmetal. Its supposed to be more resistan to rock chips and what not.. i tried that on my old wheels, and i really see no difference... here is my car now...

one more..

Just spray paint? Did you sand them at all before you did it? BTW I love how they look on your car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

oops

Well i did the whole sand them down with different grits sand paper on my 1st set.. and i did them gloss black. With the Flat black, i just made sure they were really clean from any oils, dirt and whatnot, then just sprayed them. I know when you do a glossy color, its gonna need to be really smooth for it to look right, thats why i sanded down the 1st set, but with the flat black its different.. no need to sand https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

here is a closeup of my wheels. I mixed a few colors together to get this combo. It's a charcoal,gunmetal, metallic type deal.

Nice wheels guys! I wanna do the same. Did you guys take the tires off when you painted them? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
