Painted Sport wheels.

[Gardenfan]

So after playing around in ms paint(don't laugh it worked) to get an idea of different paint designs, we chose this. It is a flat black.



Didn't get finished until dark. Probably going to either cut the rear springs or order some lowered ones to bring it down, or just go with the 2/3 yet. I dunno. Need to get some lower profile mud flaps as well, these seem much bigger than the ones on my 2012.

Nice. What's the longevity of that paint I wonder?

I painted wheels on my Malibu back in the day and they lasted for years. Was in my teens so tearing up gravel roads wasa regular occurrence LOL.

Turned out great!

Looks good. That's exactly what I wanted to do with mine but I wasn't sure how it would look.

Most certainly a fan!

For smaller mud flaps, I'd just go to Checker's and get a set of generic black ones.
All the application specific units seem to be rather... large.

Nice change from the full wheel being painted, good work!

That looks pretty cool man. Tedious I bet!

 

[Gardenfan]

If I didn't have the wifes help masking, I would probably still be there haha

Agreed; something different that stands out. Nice work.

Hook us up with a daylight shot please

How long did that take to mask and paint each wheel???

I only have one daylight shot, and bad angle at that, so I will take a better one tomorrow. Poor truck is also dirty as hell, sawmill is just layering everything with sawdust throughout town right now. I would say it took about 30 minutes per wheel using half inch green tape, and with all the corners, ya. Course my boss comes out and says, should have used the trimline stuff way easier, well I didn't know where it was lol. Painting took a few hours, but lots of coats. I can't wait to throw on some nitto 420's or similar, think they will look real nice. Need to wait for funds though.
