Nice, I want to get my rims done the same way. Did you do it yourself or was it done at a shop?

Thanks! Took all day but did them at home for about 8 bucks

I love the black Texas Plates. I got the all black ones for mine. Just black with white lettering.

Did you use regular spray paint or is that Plasti Dip?

 

[Special K]

It is semi gloss high temp rattle can.

Did you have to sand down the rims before painting?

The prep was the most time consuming part for sure. Very fine sandpaper and then meticulous cleaning. The other challenge was controlling runs in the paint. Of course my job was to go out to the garage and inspect and compliment. My husband labored and threw tantrums over it for 8 hours! I could always tell when he was getting frustrated. They still look pretty good all these years later, much better than anticipated. We are going to touch them up this spring. Much cheaper than aftermarket and powder coating. I don't know much about the plasti dip but I guess my husband used it on some of his truck parts recently.
