My wheel weights got put on the outside of my nice new black steelies. I anyone's experience what black paint matches the powdercoat the closest? Semi Gloss or Gloss?

 

Better yet, have them balanced with the weight on the inside.

 

Toyota Touch Up Paint Black #202

That is what I used. Works great. Easy to put on with the little brush. Bonds well. Never had to reapply.

My wheels had wheels weights all over the place, but you can't tell in this photo.

 

Actually balancing on both sides does a much better job, especially on steel wheels which are notoriously out of balance from the factory. That being said, I recommend going with a semi-gloss to start, and if that does not match well, go with the gloss.

Good luck getting the paint to stick on those weights. For some reason, even prepped and primed the paint just does not want to bond.

 

When mine were balanced, they used the lead on the inside rim and stuck some flat sticky weights on the surface of the rim. Balanced perfectly. Roadforce.

 

You were one of the lucky ones I guess...

 

thanks for the tip. My brother has the cragar version of the black steelies which have a red and blue pinstripe around the rim...he now hates it after seeing mine, so that should kill two bird with uno stone.

 

Ahhh, the lovely "pride" stripe, heh? Brian, I'm not sure you're still allowed to post pics of a vehicle you don't own anymore...
