Finally got the balls to paint my rims
Well, I had a really good weekend project, I painted all my rims black. I saw Cristians video in the writeups section, and I thought I just had to do it. I have recieved so many comments on them recently!! The only thing is, it makes the rest of my truck look like crap!! hahaha
Oh and sorry for the poser pics...lol thats just how I parked today!!
Here are some pics:
Heres what they used to look like:

Thanks, these rims look really good black.
I know about the stripes, I just dont have the money to paint my truck yet, because the whole truck needs a paint job!
I used duplicolor high heat everything: Primer, Paint, and Clearcoat, and I followed Cristians directions exactly!

Thanks everyone, I did paint them with the tires on, I just used some blue painters tape, the 2in and the 1/2in,I taped off over my rimguard on my tires, and didnt even worry about the part of the tire that touches the rim (you know by the bead below the rimguard), you cant tell a thing! I also used newspaper to cover the rest of the tire, and it worked great. I have gotten so many comments on them today at school!!
