Rims getting coated- Nightrunner style!

[mr. anderson]

Long story short, my stock rims were curb rashed and pitted both in and out from the last owner.

Finally getting my rims fixed, after a lot of debate I decided to go with a nightrunner style, painted and powdercoated clear.

Here's a couple pics of the trial basecoat before powdercoating the clear.

should have completed pics of the rims tommorow on the truck!

whats the exact color or paint used?

 

[mr. anderson]

it's a mix of colors. not sure but it isn't a straight paint code, I could find one anyway. the guy I have fixing my rims mixed it together from pics I have gathered for him. the inner rims were severely pitted so it'll be tommorow before I get them. so hopefully mounted pics tommorow!

 

[jsandlin]

nice...keep us updated and tell him to send me a mixed can of the paint!

NR headlights for a non-06? He'd have better luck with the stickers..


Look great though. I almost bought the NR but didnt like the wheels at first. had I known the issues with the brakes, I might have just made a different choice.

Just get the 05 lights that are black inside instead of chrome. Those will look real good.

Looks really good. Im looking to do mine flat black. What kind of prep is needed on these wheels before they can be powdered? Do they need to be blasted?

Man that is beautiful Andy I love the color

 

[mr. anderson]

thanks jesse! always wanted a set, also want a set of chomed ones for the summer driving! how are things going, wish I coulda been at the get-together looks like it was a nice one. you make it to the pinks?

Harasin, you can do it yourself, duplicolor makes a flat and gloss black, yes you need to take your time and sand the clearcoat down and then apply the wheel paint. if you do it like they say it should last. you could also just get them powdercoated.

no, just take em down with some 320 grit sand paper.

naw. it's not a viper. just has it's engine, I'm not a fan of having viper stuff on the truck, just the engine in it .

now if they had ones that had SRT on it. those would be hot!

 

[Harasin]

no, just take em down with some 320 grit sand paper.

Oh really? The last powdercoater I talked to said I need to take it to the U-Blast and blast them clean?

 

[mr. anderson]

Harasin, I disagree, that coating is a good basecoat / protection against the elements. I would just do a light scuff sanding on it to get the paint to stick.
