rim with painted letters

[CLAW5056]

lol so how hard is it to paint a rim?

 

[Outlawstar98]

Not hard at all. Just make sure its CLEAN, that means any blackness on it take it away (even on the back of the wheel, I used paint striper on the back, and took most of it off, also had a degreser) Then Rub the whole thing with paint thinner, (well after you tape it off, make sure u tape off the valve stem, the tire, adn the center cap) and then get some Dupi-Color High temp paint, and start spraying like it says to on the can (2 light coats and a Medium coat, then how many other coats you need) then lay some Clear (they make high temp clear) over that and wait over night and BAM, its done.

^^ haha

i really like Outlawstar98's rims.

I need to either get my RH's powdercaoted or painted, which would be better? Cause they are starting to chip.

Rims look sick Outlawstar. I'll be painting mine this winter. Mine are going to be Gloss Black with Titatium lip and lettering. The sickness.
Powdercoat if you have the money, but to save $$$ spray away.

 

[Outlawstar98]

[rally2003]

I'm sorry nipples are not just all one color. They come in many colors, shapes, and sizes as well. Sorry I had too.

Yep! took a whole day to do all 4, It was kinda funny, while doing them a car crashed infrount of my house.... well it really want funny... it was just... "wow did that really just happen?"

But then I let them sit over the weekend to cure some. I have like 4 layers (atleast of gold) and atleast 4 layers of clear, all spray boomed. lol. Came out better then what I thought.

 

[bruster4_5]

[Outlawstar98]

Me? I bought black paint and a brush at a art store, and i did it letter by letter with black paint.

 

[bruster4_5]
