Black Wheels
So to lay it out for you guys my truck is a forest green but its not a ford color. I have black windows (tinted) and a black tool box with the gray painted bumpers that need to be repainted and the grill needs some paint too. I have been thinking about painting the stock wheels (five spoke) and the bumpers and grill all black. I don't have money to buy new wheels so That is why i was wanting to paint the stocks wheels black and then find chrome caps to cover the lug nuts. I was just curious as to what everyone else thought about it? Also if anyone else has stock painted black wheels lets see them. Thanks

So i just found a picture on my computer and was wanting to see if anyone would want to photo shop my grill, steel bumper(not plastic valence), and wheel black. Also if its possible make one photo with the orange markers black and one without. Thanks

Well last week I decided to paint all the stuff I wanted to.
I started off by taking the wheels off and sanding them lightly with steel wool and then painting them black. I used Rustoleum and i sprayed primer, base, and clear. I then took the bumpers off and took the plastics off of the bumpers. I sanded the front bumper excessively to get the little dings out and rusts spots out of it. I lightly sanded the rear bumper with some sand paper and steel wool also. The grill was the next piece that took some time to sand. I sanded the majority of the original paint off because it was weak and chipping. I then used Rustolem for to paint the rest of it the same way I painted the wheels. After reviewing the truck i decided I needed to paint the hubs on the rear of the truck and those were heavily rusted. I used an angle grinder with a wire wheel to get the rust off and then I also painted that with some left over Krylon rust stopper paint. My headlights were also very yellow and I didn't want to buy new ones so I sanded them down and polished them with some headlight restorer and they came out looking a lot better than they used to be.
