did anyone paint their EVO X stock rims black with red lip(time attack theme) ,if u did can u post the pic plz.i am thinking to paint it.

 

I was thinking of doing the same thing, perhaps without the red line. I may do it this weekend, if I do I'll have pics asap.

 

if you go to socalevo.net they have pics of the x wheels powdercoated black

 

Maybe Im just slow, but can you link that? I just searched thru the gallery and searched in general and came up empty.

 

i am just thinking about use the duplicolor wheel paint,cause i am scared of those ppl who do powder coat gonna mess up my tires.

 

I saw someone in this thread with powder coated wheels, I think he had an Evo X GG.

 

If you're getting your wheels powder coated they won't be mounted on the tires...powder coating requires the wheels to be prepped, then sprayed, then baked to seal the powder coat. It's not a process that can be done with the tires on.

 

here's a quick mock-up

 

^ those red lips looking ricey

 

looks very nice ,but too bad it is photoshop .i try to look for that color of red paint but very hard(need high temp resistant) .

 

Why do you need high temp? I used regular spray paint (no fancy wheel paint, clears or other). Holds up just fine.

 

^which paint you used i am intersted in painting the rims gunmetal black

 

You don't need high temp paint. We do racecar wheels at work with our Stand-Ox (premium dupont owned company) paint and regular clear or matte finish.

 

Found this, its not black rims but it has the red lip, thread is here

 

high temp paint can last longer that is what i think,duplicolor wheel paint doesn't have red color, maybe i should use the red caliber paint for it
