HOW-TO: Paint Stock Wheels

[gottasrt4]

yeaaa......forgot that paint doesn't deal well with the flex in the tires. oh well, what I would give for a 24/7 shine on my tires!!!

actually i painted mine too and you dont have to sand on most rims.. all you need which is cheaper and much less time consuming is to get a bottle of super clean degreaser and just wash the rims off the car. then just tape them and spray. if you decide to take the paint off later or want to go with a lighter color, its easier to use brake cleaner to remove the paint because it wont ruin the original clear coa on the rims. steel wool or sandpaper will ruin the clear coat.

Did you look in the White SRT's thread?

The Official "Whiteness" thread - Post your ACR pics

OoOOOOoooOo, that would look good!!!! hey, ya'll think brake cleaner would get that paint off?? if not, you think mixing 1000 sand paper would help?? hell, it is wet/dry.....

i just painted my stock rims and i painted the spokes black and the lip and inside lip candy apple red,they turned out great.

come on, bud....you can't say some shit like that and not put up a pic!!! I had an idea a bit ago similar to it, but decided against it.....I'd love to see how it actually turns out, tho!!!
