After all this time of putting it off I finally painted my rims black. Tell me what you think.. should I leave the center cap silver? or paint it black? tell me what you think..Thanks

Before...



After...

 

I would leave it silver because if ou paint it all black it will make your truck look like it belongs on railroad tracks

 

I think it looks sick!! The only thing I would change is I would paint the red part black or silver. It stands out too much and looks awkward IMO.

 

yeah true about the red part, I'm gonna have to sit down and mess around with it to see how to get it apart, the black would look good also. thanks for the input !

 

I think it looks good. Much better than what you started with.

Perhaps consider some way to demarc the wheel from the tire. I've seen where dual pin stripes have been run on the wheel part of the bead. Something along the old white Aztec wheels that had red and blue pinstripes in this area???

On the other hand, my '75 F100 had flat black rims with no hub cap, all painted flat black (lug nuts too) - that looked sinister!

 

Can you get a pic from further away?

 

yes I can, i have this one, idk its not really that good, but its dark here now, so I will be sure to snap some more pics tomorrow during the day..I got the center black, I know its not to good of a pic, but its all I got for now, more to come tomorrow

 

What kind of prep work did you do?

 

I had the rust ring around the out side, so i just sanded that down, tapped off the tire, and the lug nuts, sprayed 2 coats of black, and a clear coat and let it dry and I was done

 

So you already painted the center??
