Anyone ever painted the Machined Part of their wheels????

Bosshawg600 · Apr 29, 2013

Well, got some new shoes this week, and I REALLY like them!!!!

But I was thinking, it would really look nice to have everything color matched and only have 2 colors on the truck and no chrome....Is there a proper/good way to paint the machined part of my wheels? Im wanting to paint that and the chrome side badge the FX4 gray like on the rest of the truck.

Heres what Im working with.......

I would say get the color you want in a rattle can then really take your time and clean them up really well(no grease etc etc) tape them off really well. Prim the spot you want to paint then paint them. I think they would look awesome color matched to the truck. I think little things like that is what sets trucks apart from every other one with the same parts for it.

Be interested to see how this comes out considering our trucks are almost twins

If you can find the color you want from dipyourcar.com then plastidip them. Benefit to plastidip is if you decide to sell them and the buyer wishes they were in their original color scheme, then they can peel it off.

Your right with Plasti Dip, would be a good way to do it, and if I mess up or just doesnt turn out right, I could just peel it off. Now I just need to look up the Color code for the grey.....
