Painting Powder Coated Steelies

[Blueegg]

Anyone have experience painting powder coated wheels? It seemed like a great deal on powder coating a set steelies that I discussed on an earlier thread, but I feel they need to be a darker closer to OEM grey. Taking them back to the powder coater is not an option: https://forum.ih8mud.com/tire-wheel-tech/738367-powder-coating-painting-steelies.html

Well if you want to see what they look like in dark grey spray them with Plasti-Dip. If you don't like it you can just peel it off. The stuff looks great and is durable yet easily removable.

Never heard of it before but looks like a great idea!

I've painted lots of powder coated items. I'd use a de-greaser, like simple green etc. and a scotchbrite pad to thouroughly clean the wheels, wipe down with alcohol and rattle can away. My .02

Decided to just paint them.Preped and then primed. They look great today.

They look nice. I love the hubcap look. Very old School!! What size tires are you running? Are those the 33x10.5x15?
