Looks good to me :yesway: much better than the all chrome

 

Very nice job:yesway: Just a little more shine and they would be perfect!

Can you give me a step by step process on how you did this? I am really thinking about doing it to my wheels but have no idea how to do it

 

thanks..guess illl get started on the others then

 

win. (i like them flat like that. gloss black is getting old)\

that is the plastidip right? i love that stuff.

 

no its not plasti dip..plastidip wouldnt stick to chrome...its this new spray by dupli color..comes in a two pack..with black spray and clear coat..
and the rim was shiny at first..didnt like it so i made them flat

 

heres a pic with more shine...

and its the easiest process..and cost me under 20 bucks..all i did ws washed down the wheels with degreaser..got all the dirt off...then went to my local advance auto partss..and bought a "chrome to black" 2 step pack..will take pick of product when i go to finish other wheels...tape off the parts you dont want black and add as much coat of black you want (mine is about 5 to 6) let dry for 3o mins between coat..then add clear coat(mine 2 to 3 coats)

 

nice! it looks 10 x better than the chrome! :yesway:

 

you know... just a thought.. it might look better if you got the bolt-ring black too, and left JUST the lip chrome.

 

:agreed:

 

ill do dat 2morrow and post pics

 

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you need to do like scarr said and paint the rest of the area by the rivets. Your fake three-piece wheels are theatrically composed of the barrel, the rim and the face; you essentially just painted part of the face. Make sure when you paint that area tomorrow, you don't paint the screws too; can you actually unscrew those or are they just glued in? If the screw out (which I doubt) That will make things easier, but if they are glued in you will just have to mask them off.

 

I don't think the paint is going to stay stick to the chrome very well.

 

do you think that paint is gonna hold up well?

 

As long as he prepped them correctly they should. Then again wheels do get a lot of abuse from road debris.



I think they will look good as long as you do what every one else has said. Finish painting the ring with the bolts.

 

take the extra 10 minutes per wheel and just cover the damn bolts.

 

Looks much better than they did before I think.

 

Looks like an improvement to me!

p.s. In my opinion, masking off the bolts would be the difference between something that looks "meh" and "wow thats nice!"

 

:agreed:

 

sorry mine aren't clean, but i prefer the flat look on wheels as well, and this is a pic of the bolts/lip in chrome

this is close to what mine would look like without the curb rash etc. they were on the car when i got it, just waiting for the tires to go to get new ones, or may just keep these for the winter.

 

yeah i think it'll look good.

 

Those wheels definately look better in the black. Will be interesting to see how they look painted where the fake bolts are. I am sure it will look good

 

Wheres the pics at?
