It's possible. You will either want to get them painted ASAP to allow for maximum curing time, or you want to wait until after the tires are on to paint them. If it's a good shop that you're having swap them out tho they shouldn't have a problem changing them without ruining the paint job. They shouldn't normally touch the face of the rims much when changing a tire.

 

Another member on here: nyzr21019 powdercoated his rims black. And did them himself also. I am getting mine done in the summer also. Here are some pics of his.

Nice! They look about the same tho.. but im sure its more durable..

But anyways i started painting mine today.. it would ah took me to long
to get them powdered.. Im almost done with the fronts right now
and they are looking grrrrreat!

this is officially my favorite forum btw

 

pics uploaded of what i got done tonight at beginning of thread..

 

Those look great! I love this rims done in black, they look like a completely different rim.

If you get bored after this project you should look into painting your front chrome grill strip red. Quite a few people on here have done it, and I think I would look fantastic on yours.

Then of course you would have to paint the chevy emblem black to match the rims too...

 

Thanks!!

I was thinking about that.. i don't like chrome at all..

its the only thing on my truck that's chrome lol...

i eventually wanna paint the entire truck black..

 

i actually did a set of chrome 18's i sandblasted them first then painted them with a smoked color lasted about a summer which was all i was hoping for

 

Looks really good Brian...nice job! I agree with painting the grille. I painted mine black to match the rims (not sure if you saw that in my build). I left the main chrome piece (I do plan on keeping it even though I don't like chrome, it suits it) but I will be taking the chrome off the top of my bumper piece sooner or later.
When you take the back rims off to paint them you should do your bowtie to match. It makes the truck look a hell of a lot better with a black bowtie. Something so small dresses the truck up nicely. It's held on with 2 bolts.

 

thanks man i might do that im gonna head out side in a few and get started
