Turned out pretty good for a first timer.. Thanks to this site and the search button...

 

awesome

 

Very sweet Olive drab seems to be the color of choice

 

awesome man, i like it when someone isnt scared to take on a project like that.. i literaly have friends who if they get sick of the color of there truck they will sell it cause its to "hard" to paint a truck.. even with a rattle can lol i have thoes same wheels on my runner, im really thinking about painting them now that iv seen yours. the finish on mine are shot

 

what kind of rims do you have and what did you do to prep them. i wold noe mind doing something like that

 

wow that looks great. how many cans did it take you?

 

the rims were alloy not sure if polished or not but i sanded them with 400grit real well and them used paint prep sray and wiped them down real good. Painted 4 coats of krylon BBQ/stove paint.
The truck took 14 cans to do it right 3 coats evenly sprayed. I could of held out for a spray gun and quart of paint but not lookin good weather wise and I would of painted it outside so Im happy how she turned out...

 

Rattle can is the only way to paint.
