so its tuesday, and there is no thread

 

yes.. but now thanks to you... there is! awww my hero!

 

once again i am the BOSS!! lol i was actually very surprised there hadnt been 1 started like 30 mins ago.. ah well

 

alright. anyone know the easiest way to paint my stock wheels flat black?

 

wash em real good, get sum 600 grit sand paper, sand down down slightly, and paint them.. i just got sum rota tarmacs and thats hwat i did, came out pretty good

 

happy tuesday. im up watching futurama til 5am

 

Wow it's already Midnight been surfing the net for 3 hours now it's time for bed

 

And now it's time to get up.

 

Just another day in the SRIC.

 

school blows! yay!

 

so I guess today is the 8th or 9th stright day of work, I lost track oh well

morning SRIC!

 

fail!!!

don't do that, they will look ok for awhile, but after washes on washes they will start to look like ****... just buy the extra few bucks and get them powder coated... i think it costs like what 175 bucks or so to powder coat the wheels, and now you won't have to worry about chipping and what not

we rock! LOL... I'm going on my 4th straight week of work, and I haven't missed a day yet... Hell I haven't even been LATE for work once yet, infact I have been 20-30 minutes early a few times

Negative, ghostrider. Not only do most places around here charge closer to $300 for a decent job, you can't do a true flat black with a powdercoat. The closest you can get, and not have UV trash it over the span of a few months and fade it to chalk is about 20% gloss (that's what I did on my SDR's)

Then you've got to dismount, and then remount the tires, and most of our local hookups on tht are gone as far as I know. So you're close to 500

If you really want to do flat black, either get the Duplicolor wheel paint which has a semi-gloss, or do a high-heat/engine block paint, just don't get the crinkle.

BTW, flat black on wheels is a horrible idea as it greases up super-easy, absorbs brake dust since it's porous, etc. You can do it right, or you can do it cheap. Doing it right isn't usually worth it on inexpensive wheels (the SDR's I got had hashed finishes, but I got them for $50 for the set, so I still came out at aobut 300 for the set powdercoated.

My two cents. Trust the wheel *****. Tape off the tires, rattlecan them semi-gloss black with high-heat, and know that you've killed the resale value of the wheels but at least it didn't cost you anything.
