Painted my stock wheels FLAT BLK Well i just went ahead and painted my stock wheels. I started by washing them and wet sanding them, after all that was done i cleaned them off and let them dry, Then i got to the painting part were i sprayed three coats a grey primer then i let them dry under the sun, Then i spreyed three coats of ultra flat Black.
I painted the inside also cuz it looked a little weird. Well i hope i did it right cuz i don't want paint cips flying of while i'am driving.
Cant wait to put them on my T/A the one's i have on are all chrome and i dont really like Chrome.
O and one tire looks old from the side but thats just the paint chiping off the tire.

well if i end up liking them its all kool, but i just dont like the rims it has now, there all chrome and i was hopeing on selling them and buying some mods.
I would really like to by some american racing torq wheels, blk/silv but i have to pick if i want to sell the rims and buy some mods or buy some new wheels.
I think my brother bought the rims when he had the car for $2200, so i can prob sell them for $1500 there about 6 months old.

The flat black makes it look like it's still in primer rather than a finished product. Gloss black would look so much better, IMO.

well i did'nt cover the tire walls when i was painting them but the paint is scraping off fast so don't think the tires are fckd up, there new. Well what about a clear coat? do you think that will make them shine a little.
I have a friend with a yellow subreu with flat black rims looks nice but from far away looks like he's on spare wheels. Well ill just have to see if like it when i mount them on.

you guys think i can coat the tire with a light coat of gloss or a clear coat.
I dont know much all i did with these tires was wet sand them,washed,sand agn,washed,dryed,primered them grey, and finally gave them 3 coats of flat black.
