Its actually semi-gloss i guess. I did a buddies rims in flat black and they look sick. However it didn't flow well on my car so I added clear. Its flat black with some very light coats of clear and alot of 2000 grit sanding to get it even.

 

Do you have any pics of the flat black rims? I want to see if they would go good with BSP or if I should just go straight black.

 

What's the name of the flat back paint is it spray can?
And 2000 is the name of the sanp paper

 

2000 is the grit of the sand paper.

 

ok so how much r u suppose to sand the rims down to?
The you spray the primer right?

Sorry kind of lost lol I just want to make sure I get this right cause I want to paint my rims black help me out guys on what paint to use?

 

I used duplicolor black for wheels/rims. it has a picture of a rim on the spray can... you can find it at most automotive stores... this is how mine turned out.

 

just sand it down till its smooth and scuffed up so that he prime & paint will stick. as far as paint goes it all depends I used duplicolor wheel paint for the set I have now.

I just ordered montana paint last week for painting my wheels over. montana is a graffiti based spray paint company, which means they don't water down there paint like krylon/rustoleum etc.

and with the spray paint they come with fatcaps so you get a large area done at a time

 

you can basically use most paints,

 

So i was gonna paint my super 7's lime green since i havent seen it on my wheels yet and kinda like to be different here, but would it be better to use the Duplicolor engine enamal green or go to home depot and use their flourescent paint?? im gonna do this within the next couple days.

 

I wouldnt recommend the fat caps dude... montana has less pressure than rusto/krylon, but youll still run the risk of more splatter/drips with fats. You should think about trying a smaller style tip that has a softer spray.

 

engine enamel

 

 

yeah dripping is inevitable with those cans and the real big fat caps they usually come with tend to clog and just be real messy.

I actually jus bought NYC fat caps to avoid drips and not use the big 12" wide stream of the normal fat cap. if that doesn't work im just going to take the cap off a regular krylon/rusto and make it into a make shift fat cap like back in the day. I jus have to see how to do so bc if I drip on the rim im going to be tight lol

 

was originally gonna go with the pink dot. but wayy to fat and too much waste of paint for the wheel.



but am now considering the medium, but i think the NY fat cap will do, its soft and not so overpowering with paint for light coats for the wheel.

not me but an example of the ny cap


not to big, but not to thing.

 

i do like the rusto fat cap too, they were great when i used them

 

iDriveTc, what happened to the florescent orange?? Did you not like it after all?

 

I'd like to see the Orange

 

those cans have lower pressure than your normal rusto or krylon, so unless yer using a fat cap or holding the can crazy close to ur rim, you oughta be fine.

NY Thin FTW.

 

yeah should be fine. montana's are awesome, always loved there paint. unless it was pre-wateres krylon's/rusto's from back in the day.

ill post pics up when im done and during

 

this was back in 06 when i got my first tc...im now on my 3rd and these rims got totaled and cracked and everything but just keeping the thread alive lol i just used a regular primer and than i used the florescent orange spray paint and just some regular clear coat..









^^^dont ask about the lug nut missing lmao...it fell off after i installed them after a little bit of driving due to me leaving the stupid hub ring on from my old rims but i had put another one on lol

i just want to do my stocks this time in flat black just bc it looks nice lol
