want to paint wheels..need feedback on color and brand!
 
IM on a budget here so dont go telling me to have them powdre coated cause if i had the money for it i wouldnt be posting this!!! with that said.....
Have any of you painted your wheels, stocks whatever and what color? what brand of spray paint? i saw this guy had some VX wheels painted like a dark gunmetal/bronze looking color...and i cant seem to find any of that type of paint at PepBoys, Kragen, or Autozone. anyone know where to get some nice colors?

go to wal-mart. they have alot of paint. and make sure you LIGHTLY scuff your wheels and clean then really really good before you paint them. clean them with mineral spirits or paint thinner. you can buy that at the dollar store.

I just use the spray paint from wal-mart. Get all the old ---- off, lay down 2 layers, and you're good to go. This has worked with me, doesnt necessarily mean it will work for you ;D

I would just use the high temp ---- in a flat black. ;)

Or you could get crazy and paint yellow and green swirls. :D

What wheels are you painting?

LOL <- I really did.


BTW travis probably isn't out of school yet. I know he isn't working because he doesn't do that, and i know he isnt driving because he doesnt have a car...

:mom calling: travis, where are you honey, come home! HMT is calling you :mom off:
