Will the paint scratch off if a tire shop is to install the tires back on? Very cool! Thanks, Paul (in reply to rford426) Post #: 25

I probably should have just bought the take-offs and painted them myself. I'm embarassed to say how much GAS charged me to "pimp my ride"! Plus they didn't bother to take off the wheel weights so when I had them properly balanced I ended up with unpainted spots showing on the inside of the rims. _____________________________ 2005 Mustang GT, Premium, Screaming Yellow, Auto, Interior Upgrade Package, Black Bullitts & Eibach Pro-Kit Louvers are featured here:http://www.wheelskin.com/ (in reply to kdrshocker) Post #: 28

I think I saw some that had the 5 V spokes painted black. Leave the outside rim unpainted. Otherwise it looks too much like a spare! (in reply to 07droptop) Post #: 30

When I ask how long, that means jacking up time, taping etc? Can someone who doesn't have a steady hand do this or should I have a shop do it? what a difference it makes to the appearance...looks good _____________________________ My chiropractor wishes all cars had the Mustang headrest.

Different strokes for different folks ... Indeed people have their opinions, and I supose that is not a good picture of what they really look like.  When in direct sun looks good, the paint is graphite/ gun metal. _____________________________ 2005 GT w/ some odds and ends.

RE: A How to paint ur stock rims - 2/18/2008 5:23:20 PM    cwheeler Posts: 41 Joined: 1/31/2007 Status: offline     It took me about 8 hours with jacking to putting rims back on.   Any1 can do it take ur time.  It took about 2 cans of black wheel coating for all 4 rims.   I would just clear coat what you painted but it does not matter, you can do the whole rim.   Its really easy just take ur time.....!!    _____________________________ 05 GT Manual Flowmaster Axleback Cobra spoiler Vogtland lowering springs New black painted rims, did it myself JLT itake & Sct Xcalibrator 2 - Brenspeed Off road H pipe Steeda underdrive pulleys (in reply to Black07gt) Post #: 38
