Looks good. I have thought of doing this. What kind of paint did you use?

 

nice man i like the wheels, i was hoping that someone would do this...how did you do it, and how much did it cost to do it, the reason why i ask is b/c i am on a SUPER LOW BUDGET as well, i want to paint my rims black, but nice clean job man. the color combo is clean

 

ohh and one more thing...where did you get the paint and how much does the paint cost. ohh and can you gave me the name brand you used? thanks

 

Thanks for the compliments

Here is more or less the steps on how to do it.The paint i used is called Duplicolor here is the website Auto Spray® , you can find it at any store that sells car products like autozone. discount auto parts, pepboys.

If you have anymore questions let me know.

1 Remove a tire and put the spair tire on that way you can do 2 at one time.

2.Once you have your tires off, Wash your rims really good with soap and water. *make sure there is no tire shine on the rim cause then it will bubble up when u paint it.

3.Once you u have it washed, tape up the tire so that when you start painting it wont get on ur tire.(if your using black it shouldnt matter).

4 Remove the H caps unless you want to paint over them.

5 if you want to primer them first go ahead if you dont primer them it should still come out the same

6. Paint

7.Let them dry and BAM ur done.

your drop is uneven. it looks good though

 

Yum, now you have me thinking about a black fit with white HFP wheels

 

Post that on HT. lol

 

I was thinking of painting my own rims too. Did you have to sand the rims before you painted them?? A few people told me to do that so that the paint will stick better. What type of paint did you use?? Have you had any chips since you painted them??

 

wow i like the stock wheels in white. Kinda like the Type R wheels but not really at the same time lol.

 

Wow, really good job. If you don't mind me asking. what did you do it with?

 

looks good!

 

Very nice budget mod, keep up the good work.

 

i like it a lot. great job

 

dang, clean job man!
I looked at the site you posted, it doesn't look like you can order the paint there, but it looks like they sell them at Auto Zone, thanks for the info!

 

Sick dude i like that alot. I was really close to doing the same thing with my stocks. I still may do that! Great job!

white looks good on black. i was thinking of getting either gun metal or white mf-10s knock-offs. this has me leaning towards white.

 

yea i know lol i wish i had money for some type R rims. Well i actually do but im getting married in September so im saving money like crazy. Funny thing though..I bought some H decals in Red for the rim caps and now its looking even more like type R rims but not really at the same time lol. As soon as i have some pics i'll post them up.

 

thanks man. Well yea i really saved some cash with this. Hopefully in the future i may have more money to buy some real type R rims. The bright side is though that its a year later already that i have painted these rims and they look like i just painted them. thanks agian

 

sorry for the late reply but no no chips whats so ever and i've had them painted for almost a year. No you dont need to sand them just make sure they are clean and dry. I used Duplicolor spray paint, you can find this at any autozone or pep boys near you. If you have anymore questions let me know.

 

yea it does. I like white cause it makes the black stand out more.
