i have a 05 2wd screw lariat (white) and was wondering about painting the stock 18" wheels black. i used to have a 4x4 xterra that was my off road car and a lot of guys who drove those used the bed liner spray to paint the wheels black. has anyone ever done this with spray? i was thinking if it looked good it would hold better than regular paint but am not sure. so can anyone help me out?

 

if you do a search theres a bunch of threads on this , Mblouir even did a write in the how to section.

You said your lariat is white , im assuming you have chrome bumpers ?

if so , id say no to black wheels

 

Yeah, black wheels are hard to pull of with the chrome bumpers. Just my opinion.

 

alright ill look it up, its the last on my to do list after tires leveling kit and tool box, but ya i do have the chrome so i prob wont end up doing it

 

ive threw out the idea of liner spray but what do yall think about getting my bumpers powder coated either flat black or white then flat black powder coated wheels? Ive looked around and seen a red supercab who did this and wasnt sure about doing it on a white lariat. any opinions or suggestions?

(leveling kit got put on yesterday! waiting for 33's)

 

Ptm the bumpers and black wheels. Go for the black/white stormtrooper thing?

 

Ya I'm going for the stormtrooped look, it prob won't get done til may I'm just trying to get an idea now

 

what do yall think about this method? http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5067 they say if scrapes off if you hit some rocks or brush but i dont off road often so i think id be fine

 

Thanks for putting this link up.....thats a great write up.....I'm doing this tomorrow

 

That's awesome! I wouldn't mind doing this to my wheels.

 

Ya it has a good color and texture to it and doesn't scrape off unless you really gash it which is good I'm still debating wether to do it or not and paint everything except the chrome ring on the capbur idk if you can even do this to alloys I havnt been able to find a solid answer yet

Yes you can....I've painted several sets of alloys and it did well....the bed liner will be just that much better/stronger more durable.....I say go for it...

Oh man, Texture FTW!

I may have to do this to my steelies...

Good Find!

 

Yeah ive been thinking of getting monsters but i may have to jus paint the stocks. It would save so much cash.
