sti_044 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey guys, Just wanted to see who has painted/powder coated their wheels and how they came out. I have a black wagon and want to paint them gold but I'm open to suggestions and would love to see what you guys have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WESTcoast Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I painted mine white like 2 years ago with some walmart paint and clear coat, they still look the same when they are clean! http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7110/7484725326_dfaa6e1ea5_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sti_044 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 damn thats a brilliant idea, different color each wheel. I'll do pink, green, red, and yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti_044 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 and thanks guys, I do like the silver, but I want something to make my car stick out a little from others, and be different. I just sold my 18" Tommy Kaira wheels that were gold and thats why I'm considering going gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ08GT Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Im not sure about how to go about putting up a pic but mine are painted the Acura TSX(?) Gunmetal color with a WRB lip I think gold would look sweet on the black car. I recently put 02-03 WRX wheels on my car(its white) and the silver wheels just dont look as good on the white as my snowflakes painted gunmketal so im thinking about what color to paint the wrx wheels LOL. Might do them the same as my snowflakes cus they look good on the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sti_044 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 ooooh thanks man. I like that. I'll probably go a little brighter gold but that looks awesome in my opinion. Have you guys had yours sandblasted or done it by hand? Doesn't look fun at all haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyo1990 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Cleaning the flakes is a b***h to do, painting wouldnt be fun lol. Tho I am looking at doing them after winter is thru. Nice photo shop, wanna do one for me too? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'll probably go a little brighter gold like this? i havent ever sandblasted a wheel before, but ive refinished them. id rather have sandblasted just for ease of use, but im betting the filling will take up some time saved not sanding. either way, take your time and you can get a good finish with sanding and rattle can. i prefer to go to a real paint shop and have them put good auto paint in said rattle cans tho, comes out much nicer than krylon or something like that.
