if you want just your spokes on your wheels painted what kind of paint do you need to have done to them? and how much would it cost i know theres a few posts about it but i really couldnt find this information

 

first I know u said u searched but maybe u just over looked it..

but I've painted my stock rims black and I use
high gloss black engine paint.


total cost for me was about 20.

2 cans of spray
1 can of primer
sandpaper

now if u get them powdercoated it depends where u take them. I got a quote on 50 a rim so say about 200

 

you dont have to get them powdercoated?

 

u DONT have to but u can.

some say the rims look better powdercoated but me personally I think my rims came out fine when I did them.
just take ur time and dont rush.

try googling "painting stock rims"
u should find some good advice as well as here on SL

try this

If you hust want the spokes done then you can't get them powder coated. No one will do them, I suppose you cannot mask using this process. I tried to get it done but all the shops told me they would have to do the whole rim.

Hey Chubster41, you got any pics, does anyone have pics. I tried to start this thread 3 months ago and nobody responded.

 

I did mine

looks good not really for the bronze color but the job was good

 

I also done my gold

 

gold looks good on white.

 

Has anyone just painted the spokes and left the silver lip. That seems to clearly be what the original post is speaking about. All these fully painted wheels look great but we've seen them a hundred times before. Anyone got a fake lip on the stock wheel?

 

^^ i'd like to see that too.... cause i'm thinkin of upgrading to the trd 18's and painting them black with a fake lip

 

damn you both i was doing gold this saterday lol ill post pics up


they both look realy good though

 

Hmm.. I might do mine black...

 

you should, nothing's hotter than black on black well basically any color match car-to-rims lol

 

IMO the black powerd coated rims look awesomeon any TC

 

ok there painted what do you think???




imo they seem to light i might have to repaint them darker but i also did a full mandrel bent exhaust while i was doing this so i was welding and spraying and cutting all at the same time lol both im pleased with for now though

 

Find some duplicolor wheel paint, it looks good and it (claimed) to be formulated for the abuse of being on wheels (resistant to chemicals, brake dust, chipping) about 8.50 a can

 

same thing i used it was at jcwhitney for $5 a can and i was there already since i was picking up my mandrel bent pipes and got that to

 

I think I will go ahead and do mine.. screw it. I have 18x8" TSW Slots, I have to figure out how exactly to paint it though. I want to keep a little silver lip, and keep the silver allen-wrench keys silver too. I think it is going to look hot! I'll get the supplies tonight, and I might just go ahead and do them. I'll keep you all posted.
