I am getting a new set of rims, and I want to paint them bronze. Nobody I have seen yet has bronze "wheel" paint. What would you guys recommend I use to get a bronze color for my wheels, and how would you recommend I go about prepping them for paint??

Thanks!!

 

TTT

Here ya go. The name of the paint is Premum Rust-oleum metallic. It is a REALLY good strong paint... The number is 7274. Antique Brass metallic...

Here are what mine look like.

do you have any other pics??

also, how dark is the bronze?? does it look like the same darkness as rota's bronze color??

Thanks for the help!!

 

thats what i used on a set of HX wheels, by far the paint to use! color is awesome.

 

sweet, thanks for the help guys, I am definately gonna do that to my new rims come springtime.

 

walmart 94c paint

 

no offense but all those painted wheels look like rusty copper.

 

Those rims look like ****... The walmart paont ones.. With the RIGHT paint, dont skimp, they look JUST as nice... If you want em to look JUST like a rota, buy a nice can of clear coat... People wont even be able to tell... If you buy good paint, they will look good, not like this POS here.



Sorry, but those rims look like ***... *** ***..

ditto.... ******* nasty rims man....

 

 

what kind of wheels are you going to get, you car would look sick on some bronze te37's, i never really likes those motegi, no offence or anything its just my opinion

 

actually, I'm getting your old N1R's from sims. I put one on at his house yesterday, and it looked pretty good in white, so I am gonna try that out first.

I thought the motegi's were cool 3 years ago when I got them, but now I am really getting tired of them, and all the ricers have them on the galants and probes

thats the same paint i used for my wheels.

 

Damn!!

That looks really good, I cant wait to get these rims!!

 

damn those will look really good on your car, i loved those wheels, those are hard to come by

 

Yeah, sims asked me if I wanted them, and I didnt even think twice about it. I really liked them on the integra, and they look really good on my civic too.

 

bump! ...trying to bring this old thread back to life.. hehehehe

 

Wal-mart carries it. Its the same duplicolor wheel paint that is also available in gunmetal. I did my old slips with that bronze and left the lip polished:

 

Ok, I have a question. What if you dont like it?? How can you safely remove the paint?? I have silver MOMO's, will it strip the silver off too?? Or should I be sanding off the silver prior to painting in the first place?? Basically I'm wondering if there is no turning back once doing this.

you should sand before painting.. but if you aren't satisfied with the end result then you can always use aircraft stripper to remove the paint.. i recently painted my rims bronze using the paint they suggested on this thread and im very much satisfied with the turnout..
