PowderCoating or Painting OEM Wheels (2 Viewers)

[FZJ80DM]

Okay, so many people on this forum have painted their OEM wheels black, and I totally love the cruiser looking even more like a beast.

So my question(s) are how did you go about doing it?
Products used? Spray paint? Off-shelf paint? Etc...
Steps? Do's/Don't
Pics?

Thanks!

P.S. I did search, got a few answers, but not all of them.

I had mine powdercoated. DD use primarily, so it's held up pretty well for the last few months. Be careful when removing the wheels, the stuff can be chipped with a torque wrench.

Ruadhrigh, what products did you use? I like the color btw, even though I am looking for a black wheel

Can you give us a step by step of how you went about this. What brand/color of paint, etc....

well guys, I was planning on doing a "look at my new tires" thread. I was going to go over my process there. Nothing special really.

I'll do the write up and post the link in this thread.
