Painting my Rims, have a question before I start.
I am going to paint my rims and grill gloss black. i bought 5 cans of Gloss Krylon Paint. Do I need to put down a base primer first on the rims or am I okay with just using a sanding block to scuff them up? Also do I need clear coat? I chose Krylon because I have used it may times on metal and it always held up good and its only 3.50 a can. Should I return the cans and get something else, if so what? Primer, gloss, clear? Or am I okay with what I have. I have the rims that are powder coated with that beige color inside and polished aluminum on the flat face on my 05 Lariat SCREW.

Definitely wait until after you get your new tires. After that's done, follow the thread below. That's what I did to my old wheels and it held up nicely.

I'm very surprised to see the '04/'08 style Lariat wheel on your '09+. Those wheels usually come inward at the center and I swore back a couple years ago I was reading some people couldn't get them to clear the calipers due to the inward center shape.

I'm as surprised as you are Darren. Being the first time I own a F150, I had no idea I had 04-08 wheels until I noticed that all but one wheel are the same. All but the front drivers side wheel has a light bronze inlay with a silver face. I'm guessing previous owner took the wheels with him, or had aftermarket wheels that he romoved or w/e. ANYWAYS, I'll be doing the wheels sometime this week. Anyone know a quick way to get the white off the letters? Black tire marker maybe??
