Painted my alloy rims black! (Pics)
I finally did it!! Spent most of the day using my sand blaster and blasting the heck out 3 of 5 the alloy rims. That was the worst part. Sand everywhere and my wife is not happy. Doesn't matter, I am happy. That is all that counts.
Here are some pictures, one side with alloy and the other with the new paint.
let me know what you think.

Nice. I have those same wheels, I was wondering how it would look. Plus, my clear coat is all cracked. Looks like you used a flat paint? Did you use any primer?

I will probably pull the hubs off, rebuild them and then paint them entirely black, Tomorrow I am pulling the door handles and locks off and sand blasting or sanding and also painting them black. I might even pull off the turn signals and paint that chrome as well. Shackles? Yeah I will paint those too. Lug nuts? Yeah, I will probably have to get some black ones as well.
See ya.
See ya.

My truck is a 1987 22ret, when I removed everything to have it painted I could have sworn they were metal. Do the newer years have plastic or are these handles just plastic with chrome paint on them. Cause if they are plastic I aint messin with them.
