I'm pickin up a set of blades tonight and I'm thinking about painting them or making them somehow gunmetal. whats the best way to do that?

 

How would they "somehow" become gunmetal if you didn't paint or powdercoat them?

Cheap and easy, go get some GM paint, prep your wheels and paint away.

Bit more expensive, quality may be a bit better, pay a place to powdercoat your wheels.

 

They sell rim paint at Pep Boys.

 

Dupli color graphite at your local autoparts store. And follow this method if your poor. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=316500

 

i wouldn't recommend you to paint them they might look ghetto. Have them powder coated or buy a type r suspension and put the 00-01 type r gunmetal rims on them.

 

blades look the best polished..i hated painting mine i only did it cause i was forced to..but here i had them painted a "Gloss Black"

 

i painted mine gunmetal using wheel paint from autozone. doesn't look "ghetto" at all. and if you do it right it won't chip at all.

1. sand
2. use metal etching primer (2 coats)
3. paint gunmetal (3 coats)
4. clear coat (as much as you want)
5. GLOAT!!!!
