Painted My Rims
« on: September 01, 2009, 03:30:10 PM »
So I decided that I got tired of the silver factory rims and decided to paint them. It took me about 4 hours but I think they look a lot nicer. I painted them because I havent been able to find a nice set of rims that I would want to buy. Well here are the pics that me and my boy took during the whole process.







Here are the side pics taken the next day.



They are all done and are back on my baby now.

Looks pretty good. Different is indeed right. Maybe a little more aggressive tire would help as well.

My first thought when I seen the close up of the wheel was the Lone Ranger. :cheesy1:

I think they look really nice on the black truck.
Great idea. :yourock:

That's cuz thats how us Marines roll You know that LOL. Just make sure you tape them off really well or it will get screwed up. The first one I did the tape was not cut clean so it has a fuzzy look so i had to acetone the shit out of it and redo it.
