Geez, it's been awhile since I've been on here, but I am looking for some advice. I have neglected my 951's and as result I have heavy pitting around the base of the spokes. I have had it in my mind for a while to paint these wheels the body color of my truck. I'm a pretty good do it urselfer but may need a little guidance to get that professionally done look and durability. I appreciate any comments on the matter.

 

arent those chrome? thats gonna be a pretty intense ordeal to get a finish that will last... you might need to strip the chrome first and then have them painted or powdercoated

 

Ok, what chemicals would I need to strip the chrome?

 

I'm not sure. You will probably have to bead blast them. I'd suggest powdercoating them afterwards.

 

Thanks Wandell, was hoping to be able to do this myself.... maybe not. Have to get some body work done so I'll ask the shop what they want to do it.

 

For chrome wheel owners or future owners, Take good care of your wheels, the brake dust off these F150's will pit the hell out of them. No more chrome for me, I'm too lazy
