Painted stock 5 spokes. . . what do ya think? I only have one done so far.
The color is a wheel paint by Dupli-color called Graphite.
I was kinda on the fence whether to do the whole wheel, or just the spokes, but I think I'll do the spokes first, and I can always paint the whole wheel later if I want to.

Re: Painted stock 5 spokes. . . what do ya think? I used that same type/brand of paint to paint my 96GT 16" ponys white. The paint lasted about 2 months and started chipping off <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I like the painted spoke look on those wheels by themselves, but I don't think they look good on your white/black car. I like the Formula rim on the front better. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Those might look better on a black car IMHO.

Re: Painted stock 5 spokes. . . what do ya think? I agree with Tony..
Paint on a wheel just dosent hold up that great.. Once you find the color combo you like the best I would invest in getting them powder painted.. Might cost a little more in the short term but it will save you a ton of hassle in the days to come.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Painted stock 5 spokes. . . what do ya think? Well, I appreciate the opinions.
But for Tony and Steve. . . as Adam Sandler said in the Wedding Singer "This is something you could have told me YESTERDAY!"

Well, it doesn't matter. . . it's done. . .it's cheaper for me to paint these wheels 2 or 3 times a year than it is to powder coat them right now. . .
later
