  • If this were facebook there would be 20 people posting V6 Challengers with rattlecanned black stock wheels saying "BET YOU FEEL STUPID NOW, HUH?". Yeah, man. You convinced me.
    Anyways, the Duplicolor paint is shockingly good.

    When I paint wheels, I put a piece of newspaper on my pneumatic shop stool then set the wheel to be painted on the stool. I can then spin the wheel and hole the paint can practically still. Never get runs and seems to help get in the nooks and crannies. I do like the card trick instead of masking which takes forever. End result, looks great!!

    That is an incredible improvement! The wheels look brand new, at least on camera, and the whole car looks fresh. I'm of an age where black wheels were poverty spec on a car. Cars need a certain amount of jewelry to set off the lines and bring the car design to life. Well done indeed. That colour looks very much like the argent silver that was used as an accent on some cars in the 60s and 70s. I have a set of 15 inch Virgo alloys on the old Volvo wagon. I will be doing this to those wheels at some point. The factory grey is looking a bit tired, but easily forgiven when you figure the wheels are nearing 40 years old on a car that is almost 32 years old. Great inspiration.

    You are right. One thing not talked about is that black wheels make the rims look smaller. You paint 20 inch rims black and they look 18, and they emphasise the void between the tire and the car

    Recommendation: set up a couple of saw horses topped with a plank. Set the tire on the plank. Now the tire is upright and the spray can is upright so you will get all the paint and avoid bending over. Just roll the wheel along the plank to easily cover all the nooks and crannies. Save your back and get better coverage!

Gunmetal or smoked chrome seem to be timeless. So I’d like to support you channel more, but currently my Amazon smiles goto the pibble rescue we got our derp from.

    Thanks bro, I feel asleep on the couch last night doing my research about painting over black wheels. I bought some 22’s this past weekend for a good deal except they’re black and the car is also black.
    But I currently have 20” AMG s63 wheels on my s550 (gray alloy) and only wanted larger. Never another color.
    And you’re the only UA-camr that covered my exact situation. So now i’m off to accomplish this task with confidence.
    It’s great that the wheels are off the car already. Out of my surviving friends, only one guy likes gray an at least 10 people more stated black. So I’m guessing it’s not played out but it’s most definitely not my style. NEVER!!! Maybe if I owned a new colorful Ferrari or Lamborghini, I’ll try it. But as today stands, ohhhh nooooo 🤨
