i was just wondering if anyone has painted there stock evo VIII wheels black. wondering how it looked and if anyone had any pictures. Just wondering becuase i like the stock wheels but i want black wheels.

I want to purchase another set of them because i have a pair of slicks that i want to put on them. so when it is nice and hot out, i can swap on those set of rims with the slicks.

thanks

 

i have my stockers painted i love them

 

do you have any pictures?

 

 

 

damn, they look really nice. did you do it your self? my car is yellow, how do you think the black will look?

 

 

did you guys paint your wheels yourself?

 

I painted mine myself, its been about 4 months and they havent chipped at all!
Heres what I used to paint mine:
-4 coats of black primer
-4 coats of black wheel paint
-2 coats of glossy black caliper paint
-3 coats clear coat

And I sanded them down with 600 grit sand paper. But make sure that you sand them good and clean them really good before you paint them!

 

thanks for all of the help.

 

here ya go my yellow evo but i used the gunmetal paint still get the genral idea. Goes awesome with the blackhoused headlights i did...

 

here is mine, i used 2 coats of flat black and 2 of low gloss black

 

yea i am defiantly gonna paint them black. it looks so good. im gonna get another set of stock wheels cheap for my slicks and paint both of them black. thanks for all the help everyone.

 

one more question. did you guys sand down your wheels before painting them?

 

yea i sanded them down with 400 grit just a light sand nothing major
