paint for hubcaps?

6913 Views 17 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  Admiral
What kind of paint do I use for my hubcaps? Currently I wouldn't know but I have a Celica with smoked tail lights, S2000 antenna, so the car looks stealthy :D . So I was thinking to go all the way with my stealth idea and probably do black but im not sure about what type of paint.

Dont paint your hubcaps...save up your money and go out and get some rims.
Most auto parts stores have a paint specifically for that application. dont know how that would look, but the product is out there.
I agree with stockcamry. Save up and buy rims.
i am trying to

the difference between rims and paint is about several hundred dollars. I will buy rims eventually but I hate hubcaps so I need a temporary solution.
temporary solution: remove the hub caps paint the steelies gloss black and roll out:thumbup:
Yeah, paint the steel wheels with wheel paint, gloss black would be great.
I've seen alot of people here paint their stock five spoke rims to make it look like their spoon rims. But hub caps... My brother used to have gun metal painted stock Acura hub caps. Then he bought rims.
Hubcaps are hideous. Its pointless to paint them, they're still going to be ugly.
My hubbies looked pretty good, i wouldnt paint them, that would be tacky, but for hub caps they werent bad.



Of course i have Celica GT rims now, but thats a different story.

i do too, but i think that if the car is mainly stock, then it's alright to have them...I agree and save up for some rims like I am trying to do.
I still have to admit, my baby looks fine with her stock hubs...
