i hate my salad shooters, they're nasty all the time, stained, and the clearcoat is comming off in sheets. has anyone spray painted them a shiny black? i'm not looking for show quality, but they should look decent...

if you spray them yrself it wont last, need to get them powder coated, dont know how much they would charge you though, it's the way i would go if i wanted a diffrent look to my wheels

Please do NOT spray paint them. Powder coat them if anything

Black High temp bbq paint works good but you won't get a high gloss shine.

maybe but how long would that last on wheels?

I painted mine with duplicolor wheel paint (gunmetal gray)
and they are fine just sand them smooth first then primer them, color, then clear engine paint. just make sure you take your time
they will look fine mine do

Why waist 100+ to powdercoat stock wheels

BTW mine are not salad shooters they are five spokes

chasmanz28

is that what it cost's 100 bucks for all 4 wheels ?

AW/whiteZ-28

I don't really know I havent personally priced them but it's up in that area maybe higher

100+ to the 15 bucks it cost me

EDIT:wait I did price it a long time ago discount quoted me 100 each wheel for my old salad shooters I was gonna do those in white but decided not to.

im sick and tired of polishing my wheels all the time, just worried how long it would last if i did it your way

Do you have chrome wheels if you do I don't know about that

I think and alot of my friends think they look sweet

I think of it this way if high heat paint works fine on my calipers
why not on my wheels even if you hit a curb in powder coated wheels it's gonna chip
