Has anyone tried painting their stock chrome wheels black. i was thinkin if you scuffed them up a bit and shot them with some black paint they may not look so bad. i just cant stand the look of the chrome wheels and funds are currently low.

Black Wheels??? UGH what is the world coming to????

 

The scuffing should work...Or better yet is glassbead them then spray them with a etching primar before paint..

 

i would have to have that done soemwhere i take it? is etching primar different then normal primar?

 

get them powder coated flat black....sweet!

 

yeah that cost money tho. tryin to do this cheap. can someone photoshop them so are black?

 

from what i can see the chrome plating is not a part of the wheel and can be taken off? i could be wrong but if you have a wheel off it seems to be a seperate piece that was chromed and put in im working on black wheels as well.

 

I know you dont want to buy new ones, but the rims i got are teflon coted just like a frying pan. man i love them everything washes off and no rust. I think they were 500 for the set.

 

what size are they? any pics?

 

just peel the chrome junk off and paint the steel underneath

 

didnt know i could do that. i will do that.

 

I take my last post back. i just looked at my wheels and i am 99% positive they are chrome plated. im sure it will come off some how but dosnt look easy or really possible. any suggestions?

 

I have seen chrome come off with EZ- OFF oven cleaner. Depends on how good of a job it was.

Media blasting WILL work, in a hurry too.

 

i am a painter and the best thing to do is use a green primar. it hold to the chrome the best. and then paint over the primer after you said it.

 

which truck are we talking about? if it's the 99, they're true chrome, but I thought 99's had alloys?

if it's the '04, it's an overlay... unless they're alloys
