Hey Crstfr, Sorry About That

Sorry I missed your question on another thread concerning me painting my XLT wheel spokes black. I really am pleased with how it turned out. Across a parking lot, it looks as if the wheels are slotted. I do not know why Ford used that gray instead of black.

They were so blah on the black truck with the gray painted spokes and I was obessed with doing this. I just bought some spray paint at the parts store. The stuff I bought happens to have carbon in it for high heat, but I don't think that is necessary. I wanted an epoxy paint but they did not have it. I lightly sanded the spokes, cleaned them with a paint reducer to remove all the wax, taped them off with newspaper and sprayed them. Glad you like it, I think it would look good on light colored trucks as it would match all the black trim.

When I took the truck in for service, the Service Manager noticed it right away and was very complimentary. He either liked it or knows how to make a customer feel good. Thanks for your interest.
