Black-chrome wheels

CAROLINA BAREFOOT · Mar 10, 2011

I have spent a great deal of time toying with the idea of having my factory 20"s dipped. I have narrowed my options to Black-Chrome and regular old chrome. I like the blackout look, but I don't want too much black. What do yall think? I would post pictures of my truck, but since I am on a government computer, the only pictures I can post are the ones I copy and paste from what few internet sites I can access. Give me a few days, I'll have the wife e-mail me some pictures and I'll post 'em.

do black chrome w/ a black chrome grill and badges...

Well, the black chrome badging is something I had'nt thought about. I have been looking at the thread about a "back-lit emblem" and like the idea and look. That, combined with black chrome would look awesome. Maybe even backlight the other badges.

i used vht nightshades on my 08 and it came out great on the badges. i may have a pic

here is an upclose and a little bit further back. i didnt pull it off i only masked off the tailgate, it was easier

it was like that for about a year before i ditched the truck. all i did was clean it really really good to remove all dirt grime and oil residue the a couple lights coats of vht and a couple of coats of clear. done

2nd doing the black chrome if your trucks either black, grey or silver.

I wanted to do that to my truck but was

a) Too scared to attempt it myself
b) Too cheap to have it done professionally.

I'm starting to like the black chrome idea, post pictures when you can. I would like to see what you come up with.

^Ole reds gonna get a new look????

It would be sweet if someone could get it to lay down evenly on a set of chrome clads. If I thought I could I would peel the Plasti-dip off and go that route.

I'm slow to change, and this year I'm focusing on the engine. But this does look very inviting. Dupli-Color :: Shadow

Also just google "black chrome paint" a lot of info pops up.

I believe thats going to be next on my visual mod list. Powdercoat them a gloss black chrome.

So I assume you plasti-dipped your wheels? How did it go? I have chrome clad and I just was unsure of how to properly do it?
