Re: Painted my 08' wheels

Quirky request, but do you mind posting a larger version of the pic in your avatar? My tires are always brown and would like to see how the brown contrasts with the black wheels.

Thanks!

Here ya go, couple of pics of me and my son after playing around a bit. After this day it reinforced the idea of getting some more aggresive tires. These Rugged trails suck in the Midwest mud!

Re: Painted my 08' wheels

Did you paint your mirrors too or are the factory black mirrors? The match looks pretty good from here.

Re: Painted my 08' wheels

I have commited to blacking the factory wheels.

Couple questions;

Did you rattlecan em or have them painted professionally?
Did you go through proper prep to paint? Sanding, tacking, etc...
If you had them done, what did that cost? Assuming you actually paid and didn't have it done at your dealer.
