#103413, "Post pics of your stock painted rims....."




          


Well I was thinking of painting my stock rims to give my car a new look. I would be better if I could get other rims but there no $$ for it. I was thinking maybe doing a flat black with a silver or charcoal gray lip. I really want to see what other have done with theirs.

heres a pic of what rims I have...

I have my stock 14"'s on that I painted black and left a silver rim,
its starting to chip tho...probably because I didn't use a clear coat on top, which is what I need to redo one of these weekends.

I have same rims and I'm painting mine all black this weekend. I'll throw up some small decent size pics of them and short how to.

My 2g white doing the panda theme but I was thinking of going bronze at first, like the black better.

Bronze or Black would look good your green 2g. Buy one can of each to test first

Looks good guys!

So how did you do it? did you sand off the old paint or used paint remover, etc..

Want to try this on my car to get a different look..

I just cleaned it really well, there's only a clear coat on it as is I believe. Taped off the outer ring and had at it. Did like 3 or 4 coats, then a couple clear coat to help with rock chips. Hadn't had any of the rim black flake/chip yet, just the lug nuts that I only half-assed with regular black spray bomb.
