Found a little bit of rust on one of my cragars so I decided to sand them down and paint them.. The color is graphite metallic I think it looks pretty good. Tell me what you think, Thanks, Kenny
Before..

Now..



I'll get some pictures of them on the truck this evening.

 

Looks good.

 

looks way better

 

Pics on the truck?

 

looks good, just watch for chips.

 

This evening sir. I've only got two done so far.

Maybe consider like a satin clear coat or something. Make it a little more durable

 

Yeah. Might help if I read the whole post huh.

 

Looks good, how do you like those tires?

 

Doesnt Cragar have a set like that...?

 

They look similar. I think they may be the same or brighter..

As for the tires, I love them. Cheap and work well for me. I don't do any hardcore offroading but they handle mud holes,hills,loose dirt, sand pretty well.

 

That's the cragar's silver.. They look pretty close to the same. I sanded the rust off the one wheel (dime sized patch,) put a rust stopper paint, primed, and three coats of graphite metallic wheel paint. Waiting for everything to dry to clear coat.

 

Rims look good. How do you like those tires?

 

Read two post's above..

 

Are ya done yet huh? huh? Are ya?

 

Wonder how durable the paint will be... loooks nice though!

 

Only have one picture from while I was in the middle of it.. I'll take more tomorrow.

 

Looks good.

 

word of advice silicone them on the seams

 

^^what? silocone? WHY?

 

On the seams cause water/ salt is held there and thats what mades the paint buble and peel up. I will go out and take pics in a little bit.

 

Heres the pics...
the back of the wheel

The front you want to run a thin bead so nobody can see it like this


Sealing it there will keep all the **** out of the face of the rim and not causing it to rott because of water and sand/ salt cant get trapped in there.

 

you used that duplicolor wheel paint rite? Did it lay down smooth for you cause my rims started that color but i repainted them because it went on super rough.

 

Valspar Tractor Paint works good, its oil based so it lays down flat with a brush

 

damnit, i wanted to be the first to paint my wheels that color, oh well, hopefully i will be first to do it to stock
