i bought
- high heat primer x4
- duplicolor flat black x4
- duplicolor clear coat x2
- sand paper x1
- scotch blue painters tape x1

is there anything else that i need to buy?
and is this going to look good color wise?

if anyone has pics of their stockies flat blacked send them please!

 

why so much primer and paint? and theres no need for tape. you use index cards they work much better and save time from taping the tires. for paint and primer all you need is 2 cans each and for the paint you should get wheel paint becaseu wheel paint is better and doesnt chip as easy.and i would get like 3 cans of clear coat becuase its just better.

 

dude.. looks like the amount you spent on materials you could have just gone and have sum1 powder coated them..

 

all the paint is rim/ automobile paint.
and how much is powdercoating?
i only spent like 50.00

plus will still even look flat when you put the clear coats on?

 

should normally be about ~150... they're much more durable and lasts longer lol..

 

damn
well mabey if i get over the black,
i was kinda thinking white might look kinda cool

 

4 cans? Jeez you only need 2 of each as someone stated. The process is rather simple and not as hard as people say, if you can spray paint some rims then you fail at life, just index card the wheel, sand a little bit and have fun painting. Clearcoat may give you a shine but I didnt put any clearcoat on my painted super sevens and they have no shine to them at all. I put like 3 heavy layers and its holding up fine.

 

well there's diff types of clear coats. i know mine was non-gloss from when i spray painted the little chrome trim around the front upper grill flat black...though i probably should redo it now, rock chips owned it up

these are the paints

the clear coat says on the back that it will leave a glassy finish, but if the color is flat black then will it look flat with a shine?

i just dont want it to look like cheap spray black

 

just don't put on a clear.. lol

anytime it chips.. spray a little primer and voila..

just messin... you should be fine.. test out your clear coat first.. spray some black and spray the clear over it.. just find a piece of metal in your garage or something...

 

u need acetone to clean ur wheels after

 

do it in a hot dry place let them sit

 

I used 1 can of primer on mine,
and 1.5 cans of dupliccolor wheel paint. And I did 3 coats of regular paint. Doesn't come off at all.

 

wouldn't the acrylic lacquer bubble/messed up the black paint since its not acrylic?...bec. when i was painting i used regular black paint and i used acrylic lacquer clear and the paint bubbled?

 

Sorry, by regular I meant the wheel paint not primer.
I got 3 nice smooth coats out of 1.5 cans. I did 3 coats of black
1 coat of primer.
I didn't clear, and it hasn't chipped off in the 2 weeks i've had them on (3 painted) but if it does, ill repaint and clear.

 

why did the clear bubble?

do they make another claeer coat?
