I picked up this set of wheels and I want to paint them black. What is the best way to do this? Good old rattle can, powder coat, or take them to a bodyshop?

 

Powder coat.

 

Powder coat. I had a set when I lived in Oregon, They held up extremely well to snow, mud, rocks etc...

 

I have mine powdercoated black. I would suggest that you have it done at a local, professional powdercoater. Your wheels need to be sandblasted then coated. Mine cost about $20 per wheel to sandblast and $25 per wheel to PC. Mine seem to be holding up well with absolutely no issues. Currently im running without the chrome center caps.

 

closest place I could locate to powder coat was in Pensacola Fl and they wanted $100 per wheel
anyone ever tried one of those do it yourself powder coat kits?

your truck is bad 2da bone also.....

 

Thanks for the compliments on the truck. It is still a work in progress. I hope to have some 35'' BFG Mud terrains on by years end.


I did a quick search on the internet and came up with this link. Maybe one of these guys can help you out and be alot closer to South Mississippi. By the way, I graduated from USM in Hattiesburg...and grew up in Hernando at the other end of the state.
