Got two done today, along with some chrome trim and mudflaps. This isn't a spray bomb job, I did have the paint already, it maybe cost $10-$15 total with paint and prep... that and about 3 hours lol.

Cool, John.

Did you get the others done? And do you happen to have a picture of the whole truck with the newly painted wheels?

1. Would you like one spoonful or two?

2. Why is it a "favor" to get them powdercoated? When I finally took mine off they had no scratches, scuffs, chips, etc and looked like the day I painted them. Durability and looks are the same if the job is done right. Powdercoating just costs more.

Climb down off the high horse. No one has any intention of driving around with duct tape colored wheels. They're just seeing if they even like the look before they invest the time and money in painting or powder coating. Some combinations just don't work and it sure would be nice to find out before any permanent change is made.
