Looks good. Way better than stock. How did you go about painting them? What did you do to clean them?

 

Thank you,


Well what I did first was went and bought some black wheel paint and clear coat.


Then, i removed 2 wheels at a time, cleaned them like i normally clean my wheels, then cleaned them with rubbing alcohol. After they dried, i taped off the chrome that i didn't want painted. I then layed on a few coats of black for each wheel, let it dry for a while between each coat. Then applied a few coats of clear coat. Let that dry for a few hours, then untape the chrome and tires and you are good to go.


If you have any other questions feel free to ask, it was a shot in the dark project for me

 

Damn! Those look really good...actually looks like an aftermarket wheel.

 

They do look very good.

 

I've been thinking about doing that to one of the 2 sets of salad shooters that I have, but couldn't really visualize them on my red 94... Thanks for giving me the visual...

How many cans of wheel paint did you use? What brand?

 

Looks real good - by leaving the lip polished, they almost look like black zr1's at first glance

 

I've never seen that before, props for being different...and yes they do look pretty nice.

 

How much would you say you spent total on this project? It may just convince me to do the same thing instead of buying the ZR1's.

 

what you can do to take care of little black spots left on the lip is just take some real fine sand paper aka 1200-1500 grit and wet sand that **** off. Thats perfect not to effect finish on the lip.

 

Hey sorry i took so long to reply guys


Thanks for the compliments



The whole project cost me about 25-30 bux

and i bought i think 2-3 cans of black and 2-3 cans of clear coat

 

Looks really good and different never see glossy black salad shooters! Good Job!

 

did you sand them at all before painting them?

 

Damn i was thinking it was gonna look like a mistake, but i like how ya left the lip unpainted as well as the center part of the center cap.

not bad Rookie!
