Flanagans twin Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 hey guys, i was wondering if i should paint my front and back wheels black on my 01 blue shee. pic is in the sig, let me know what everyone thinks! Quote
nunyabinness Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 don't paint them. just polish them up real nice. i think it would look better. Quote
bansheefreak Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 i say paint them if thats what you wanna do..if not just polish them up.. you want bling or blam!!! Quote
fishwater Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 I am thinking of painting mine actually as well but I don't think the paint will hold up all that well. I tried polishing mine but I think they need the clear coat stripped first before you can really polish them, otherwise you are basically just cleaning & waxing them. Either way they should be stripped, before paint or polish IMO. Quote
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 I would paint them. i want to do my rims black. a nice black glossy auto paint. Quote

ClimbAnyHill Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Do it, i luv black rims. Might wanna try powdercoat though. Quote

unstopable_baller24 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 i say paint them..... black shees are the sickest! Quote
phxrider Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Do it, i luv black rims. Might wanna try powdercoat though. I agree with powdercoating! I don't know if any paint will last on aluminum without chipping. Quote
Bansh88 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Powdercoat is nice but it costs about 20x as much as a rattle can and you HAVE to take your tires off. I say tape off the tires and spray em up. Give them a light primer first. If you get extra cash and time later on, go for a PC. Paint holds up pretty nice. Edited October 9, 2007 by Bansh88 Quote

Paint holds up pretty nice. i agree i paints some of mine and they have lasted long time.. and if i have to i an just spray them again ..do a lil touch up for couple bucks.. now if you have tires off at some point and got time then it might be worth getting the pc'ed..
