satin black wheels? (pics inside.)

[ONE_to_HATE]

I pulled out a set of wheels i was kicking around in the backyard and went to home depot for a couple cans of satin black paint.. then i painted. teeehee! .. im partial to it- maybe because its new? - idk. i took a couple quick shots before i ran late for work. hahaha!

CAR WORK before REAL WORK FTW!!

i want my rims in that color!

how hard is that to do with the tires still on them? idk how to take tires off and put them back on

anyways does that stuff stay on the rims? or do they start to peel and stuff

[JBlacks]

it only costs 5-10 dollars a rim to get your tire taken off an put back on, i recommend getting the tires taken off do all of your base coats, get the tire put back on and do a final coal/ clear or what ever finish you are doing.

[rusty9]

coat your tires with oil, spray away, wait for paint to dry, wash away oil. =)

or you could be all fancy and use painters tape...

[FLIP K1DD]

do you gotta sand the rims down beforehand? and primer?

just worried ill be stuck re-spraying them over and over again every time theres a chip

Oil is a great idea. I feel like it'd be hard to not get some on the rims though, and that = missing patches.

Personally I'd tape that shit up haha. But not with painters tape....too expensive!

don't worry too much about the paint sticking- .. here's a little diy i did last year on painting wheels.

first mod of 2009!!- wheels! pics inside..

if yr wheels are in pretty good shape, just grab some primer and get to work. 3/4 of the job is prep- so take yr time.

[JBlacks]

if you want good looking rims for a long time do not be cheap. I have a sand blaster so when i do wheels i sand blast them, do some sanding, primer/filler, sand, and then throw on paint, get them mounted do any touch up i need to do then finish coat and ur done.

...your ride never disappoints.....haha

wide painters tape.. wal mart




And for steelies, i'd do light scuffings... they're steelies..


but for some other precious wheels, i'd do more than scuffing.
