Black Rim Painting

[statue]

It's been over 48 hours for the 1st wheel (front left wheel)

and over 24 hours for the other 3

Tell me what you think.

Does it look matte to you? Looks shiny. I think the clear coat made it glossy. lol

Oh well.. I'm happy with the results

wait...you put clear coat on??

looks good in any case, well done

post up some close-up pics, definitely glossy in those pics but If it's black wheels imo gloss looks better, matte on wheels just looks cheap to me

looks good so far though. well done, always satisfying when you DIY

Here are some close up pics.

One question.. How do I clean it if it gets dirty? usually I use a scrub.. but now its painted and I don't want to touch it.. lol

[sonnyQ]

Once the paint has cured properly you should be able to clean as normal

I have the exact same wheels and painted it BLACK.....you did a better job then me....people thought i was crazy doing it with a spray can, but it turned out mad like yours and 8 months later its not peeling or being chipped off by rocks its staying fresh like the day i did it.

^^ agreed, i did a set with a mate and it lasted around 4 years till it was in need of a respray, and that was mostly fading, not because of stone chips
