Painted rims? - Page 2

fish2live · 06-09-08, 04:57 PM

Nice work all - those are looking amazing PINT!!

I am lovin' the looks of painted rims, but I think mine would be best in black to match the other trim. Plus I am keeping the sliders black when I get them next month.

I was just messing around with some REALLY crappy effects...

feel free to photoshop some real ones if you have time anyone!!

1) as she sits today
2) adding black Slee non-step sliders
3) sliders AND black rims (i think this has to be the way it's going to be!!!)

I bought some at Autozone, and more at Napa. Most of the stores in my area have the Dupli-Color brand. Look for their special "Wheel Coating" I think they offer black, silver, graphite, white and clear around here.

The gunmetal and bronze both look great!! I would be happy with either one.

Jeff, when you do paint them let me know. Id like to see them up close and in person.

Well the sun is out and Pint got me going again, I laid out the rims and prepped them.

Then applied some of that "Graphite".

I'll let them cure a couple of days, but the surface temp was 100+ in the sun, so they are semi baked.

Does anyone have a picture of a champagne cruiser with bronze rims? How about a champagne cruiser with graphite? I thought I was going to go flat black however now I thinking about bronze or graphite instead. Thanks.

do not do bronze, graphite would look nice tho

Campfire · 06-13-08, 05:05 PM

They are done in "Graphite" finally. Took them down this morning and had the tires mounted. The AT's are so much quieter, Spressomon has a point on that one.

And a nice quite lakeside spot for lunch.

The Vineyard Cruiser

Now to get the bumpers and side mouldings done in the same color.

Jeff,

It would look really good with the molding painted black too.

1loudLX · 06-13-08, 10:58 PM
