So I Sold my camper top yesterday, for cash plus the guy spray lined my bed, since I had the stock bedliner still. Then I came home and my lil bro and I decided to take off my wheels and paint them flat black since the chrome was peeling. I love it, just need to clean it now. Sorry bout the cell phone pics. Willl look better clean.

Im hoping the paint lasts, but I will eventually probably get the wheels sandblasted and black powdercoated. Let me know what you think.





And yes I know, I need some bigger meats and a spindle lift, but Im doin my best! The rear lifted some without the camper I think.

I also wanna do the headlight mod and paint me emblems black. Anyone know how to get my emblems off without damaging them?

 

heatgun goo gone and fishing line

 

Looks good!

 

im not a huge fan of black wheels but the truck looks great without the topper

 

Looks much better. I would have left the wheels chrome tho.

 

OMG it looks completely different. it's crazy. I mean not in a bad way haha.

I'd venture to say that you will be wanting to repaint the wheels prolly before the year is over. A buddy of mine had a '89 Camaro RS with the stock wheels. He painted them black and ran gold-colored lugs...didn't look too bad, as it was a black car, 5% limo tint on the doors and hatch, and he ran blackwall tires. I think he had to repaint his about once a year to keep them looking nice.


Powdercoat will be stronger, and IMO, better looking than just paint.
