I've been wanting to paint my calipers red ever since I got the truck because my dad did that to his TBSS. Today we finally got time to do it and my dad also suggested that I clean out the inside of the wheels (I still got the stock ones). So while he was cleaning and painting the calipers, I cleaned the inside of the wheels with a Scotch Brite pad, 409, and rag, washing it down with the hose after I finished each wheel. It didn't make the inside of the perfectly clean, but it made it look much better. It took about 3 hours to do all that. I will take pictures of the wheels and calipers if someone wants to see them. I also put on a shorter antenna because I hated the stock longone.

 

utoh i can see it now a ******* antenna !!!! U didnt did you????

 

Painted mine not long ago:




I wanna see some pics there GA!!!
The stock rims are very hard to clean. I ended up using mineral spirits to clean mine last time. Had to use something strong enough to cut through the dust without damaging the finish.

sclong antenna....lol As long as its not a ******* or a stubbie. The stubbies don't like low branches.One hit and they are ruined.

 

looks nice

 

The antenna isn't a ******* antenna. I will take pics of the brakes, inside of the wheels, and the antenna later today and post it.

 

i used commet and a stiff brush to get the inside of my wheels clean once in a while ever tried that brent?

 

cool. I painted my center caps thursday. Painting a wheel a day for the next for days. lol, i will try and get some pics of the first one tomorrow after i get off and get it on the blazer.

 

Not comet. I've use simple green, but I can't seen to get it really clean. Theres some hard to reach places.

 

Here are the pics (It had just sprinkled a little):

No... thats not a ******* at all. That looks pretty good. Don't know if you noticed, but you also painted the back of your brake pads
Your wheels look good compared to mine. Mine still look brownish even after cleaning.
