Black Wheels Complete

[wing79]

Here it is. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I finished this project in one night, a very very long night. I think it turned out pretty BA. Any suggestions or pictures on what to do with the center caps? I also added the BLACK front bumper and tinted the windows to complete the "BLACK OUT" 23808

You HOABed the calipers too, TGL? :eek:
Hello, can we get an intervention here at table 5? ;) :p

Actually do you have pics of that? If I ever get the weather to do the wheels I might just do the calipers as well. :rolleyes:

First I took off the spare and then jacked up and put jack stands behind the back tires, then took the off and scuffed all 3 back wheels with a scotch brite pad. Then I used oil and grease remover and wiped off the wheels and washed them with water. Then I blew them dry with an air compressor and masked off the wheels from tire and sprayed them with Duplicolor wheel paint, about 4 coats (only need 10 minutes between coats). Then I cleared each wheel with 3 heavy coats of Duplicolor wheel clearcoat. After about and hour there were dry to the touch and I started with the front wheels. Those were a bit harder because I couldnt get the jack stand anywhere underneath the front, so I did one at a time. Looking back I probably didnt need to mask the wheels off because any paint that dried on the tires cracked off and blew away with compressor. I will get more pics but I had to take some after I finished at 4:30 am. Thanks again fellas, wing

Looks sweet you do need to paint the center caps black...
How many cans of paint and clear coat did you use? Plan to do mine soon. Wonder how the paint would hold up to a tire machine I also plan to get bigger tires after my stock ones go south..



Thanks

looks good! my neighbor has the black on black on black. you need to paint the center caps before you even leave the driveway again.

4 cans of black and 3 of clear should do it. also pick up some duplicolor grease and oil remover. if you dont the paint will not stick to the rims. the prep is the most important part in this project.
