I have been wanting to do this since I got these rims, just never fully talked myself into it. Well here goes.


Not too bad for a rattle can job.

Sanded, 3 coats of color. 5 coats of clear, I will let it cure on the truck for about a week, then I will wetsand and buff.

Before..

Looks awesome man. I've always loved the way white rims look with a white paint job. That's why im contemplating painting my 22's white (when I get them) or buying dust covers and painting those white. I love both looks.

Let me know how the rattlecan paint stands up though, I might consider doing something similar.

haha true. I used 3 dollar per can Valspar spray paint and clear from lowes. Used about 4 cans of each. took all day. Tons of taping and sanding, alot of patience. I need to let them cure for about a week then I will wetsand and buff them.

I would like to see how they hold up. I did mine before mounting/balancing them and I'm getting rock chips on them. I also didn't put near as much clear on them as you did.
