Has anyone ever used that wheel paint you can buy from autozone. its a three step process. When i get my tC it will be IIP. I wanna do my stock rims white. my other plans are to paint my tC and scion logos white. just some contrast in the car.

 

If you want the wheels white you should get them powdercoated. Paint can chip off, powdercoating can't. I got my wheels powdercoated for $50 each, it is worth it.

Just my 2 cents

 

yes but this requires me taking the tires off and im not doing that. i dont have a set of steelies to throw on there.

 

Then I wouldn't do it, it will look like crap!

 

Only after a few trips down the road...But you're right, paint will chip...

 

Ive used the paint from autozone before on my tercel wheels.
they were 16" konig villians, i painted them graphite and i had no problems at all, they were aluminum wheels though. also i dorve it everyday for a year after i painted them it held up very well

all i did was tape my tires off and took them off the car they were dry in less than an hour, then i sprayed them one more thin coat and waa laa!
i only used less than 2 cans to do it

 

If it were crappy wheels I would say do it, but I wouldn't want to mess up tC wheels.

 

Stupid question but where would I take my car to get the wheels powder coated?

 

what the hell are you thinking you going for the cover of the JC whitney catalouge

 

To a Powdercoater Just Look it up in the Phone book

 

You have a spare right? Just do them 1 at a time. If your going to do it go with powdercoating. :D

 

ya i second that! i'd wait until you *** your wheels up, or have a second pair to see also i dont think that white spray paint would turn out as good as you think it would
mine werent crappy but i did have some "scars" on them!

 

ya i guess i should just do it the right way............damn its gonna look sweet though.

 

you should start out by painting the brake calipers

 

yep........red!
