hey everybody! i was thinking about painting my stock wheels either a gunmetal color, or black. i was at Auto Zone yesterday and found that they make paint specifically for wheels now. it comes in an airisol can.... have any of you used this yet, or know anyone who has? any advice is much apriciated!vtec rocks!

 

I hope someone has done this with great results because I've been thinking about doing it too.

Yeah, I have on an older car. Duplicolor makes paint especially for parts such as wheels and brake calipers that can withstand heat. Only thing is, if you don't cure the wheel well after painting, it chips off very easily. I did 2 coats of primer, then 3-4 coats of a semi gloss black. oh and most importantly spray it evenly and consistently otherwise you get some parts all shiny from too much paint and other parts too rough from being too far. good stuff tho.

 

..... this is the ten thousandth time this has been posted up not trying to be a dick but use search feature for painted stock wheels.

 

Yep, even a DIY on it!

well. . . . not to be a dick or anything, but if you've seen the thread ten thousand times, why did you open it again? is it against the rules to ask questions that have already been asked? thanx for making someone new feel stupid. . . . . . . .to everyone that has givin some advice on my question thank you.

 

yea forreals especially from a mod. i expected a "Hey please use the search tool next time but here are a few results i found" instead of im not a dick blah blah. seeing he himself has painted wheels ud think he'd give advice u cant find from the ****ing searched threads. and when i painted my shit no one really talked about how to cure them well so no u cant find shit about curing a wheel on the search. and if hes a mod why cant they lock threads or delete? you'd think the mods would be the most helpful and welcoming, psh..

 

why don't you all join a different auto forum, and see what happens when you post something that's been posted before


then post back.

someone jus lock this thread.... -_-

 

as far as curing the wheels what is suggested? the paint says to clean the wheels, hit em with 320 grit sandpaper, spray 2 light coats 10 min apart fallowed by a heavier coat. . . . . wait 3 hours before re-installing your wheels. . . . . . should i have em drying under hd heaters? """"""""""""""" thanks in advance.............glad im not the only one on this forum thats NOT perfect. i mean the whole point of a forum is for people with somthing in common to come 2gether and descuss that common. not to make people search all over for answers to questions""""""""""""i figure if someone is tired of talking to me about what im talking about, they dont have to talk!

 

everyone needs to stop getting so damn butthurt
right about now a thread lock sounds amazing

 

 

all i did was ask a question. . . . . . . if you dont have any posative input, please dont reply. . . . . . .if u have posative input, than thank you""""""""""

 

I cured mine in a lame way, i used a heater to get it warm. but I had tires on so i was scared of messing them up wit a lot of heat. i cleared coated it after that to prevent chipping. but i guess the ideal way to cure it is to take off the tire and paint and cure jus the rim. its already a bitch to paint wit the tire on too. but ur best bet is to combine all the tips from all the different threads

for those of u that are giving me input, once again thank you. . . . . . . . .for those of you that have posted 3-4 times without leaving any real input, u need to find somthing else to do! no life. . . . . . . i feel sorry for you!

 

i feel sorry for people who can't spell right.
so the feeling is mutual
