Thanks. Once you black out the wheels you'll start blacking everything out!

Merry Christmas.

I took mine into the powdercoating shop and got them blasted then powdercoated black for $60 a rim. It turned out really nice and has held up great.

Use a red Scotch Brite pad to scuff them up, then prime, abase coat and clear. Just be sure to clean very well before hand.

The guy with the least amount of posts did it the best way....

Seriously, 240 bucks for 4 rims to be powdercoated is the absolute best way of guaranteeing that you won't have problems if the wheels are chrome. If they're just painted, scuff and shoot with a spraybomb.


Good luck.
