painted the rims

[Mr. Wright]

Decided to try and add a little color to my wheels. I scratched the area with
60 grit, masked it off and sprayed about 10 light coats of black. Once dry, I
wet sanded in the bathtub with 2000. I polished it up with a couple coats
and this is the end result. I didnt have a perfect place for them to dry so
there are some imperfections in the paint. One even has a cat hair in it! Im
not worried about the imperfections because you cant see them unless youre
right down on the rims. Total expense, 15hrs and $10.

Hey coolbreeze, how about an up date on how this is holding up.

Looks good brother! Alsacorp.com has something similar to plasti-dip mentioned in an other post that can be applied with a brush yet drys totally smooth. Can be peeled off with little effort using a heat gun if you change your mind or simply want to change to a different color. Did my Dodge Pickup's chrome 22's in flat black three months back and haven't had any peeling or chipping (to my surprise) after several thousand highway miles!

Can't remember what I paid but it was real reasonable so much so that I'm going to order a couple more quarts in some funky colors just to change things up and freak out my buddies!!!

So far everything is staying on. I have more ideas for my rims. But I like to plan and research extensively. So the finished product takes a while to be started & completed. But the result is very satisfying. Thanks for asking.
