I recently decided to paint my stock wheels on my blazer, and well heres what i ended up with.

Heres Stock..


All sanded, getting ready for primer,


Wheels all masked off, with first coat of paint,


I also decided to paint my calipers while i was at it..


Heres the finshed product!


And heres a little before and after

 

those look pretty good...hardly tell there stock...nice accent with the red as well.

 

Those look really good. Your Blazer obviously likes it, too... (insert witty O face comment here)

 

cant believe i missed the big "O" on there....

 

 

It looks great! The calipers and the red chevy emblam are a really nice touch. Great job.

I've been wanting to pain my rims black since I got my truck last week. I only hope I can do half a good a job as you did. What type of paint did you use? What type of sandpaper did you use and did you just sand the rims by hand? Any other advice?

 

great job bro they look awsome,yea what was ur step by step on it and any pictures that go along with them would be awsome

 

I should have taken step by step pictures as i was doing it huh, whoops... Well here is the written steps i did.

1.Remove wheels
2.Clean wheels
3.Hand sand with 150grit sand paper
4.Then with 220grit
5.Re-clean wheels to remove dust
6.Mask off the part i want to leave grey with painters tape
7.Mask off the tires
8.Spray "Rust-Oleum" grey automobile primer
9.Allow to dry and repeat once or twice
10.Once primer is dry, i used "Valspar" Black 2X Max Anti-Rust spray paint
11.Allow to dry and repeat two to three times
12.Then use "Rust-Oleum" crystal clear enamel for the clear coating
13.Depending on preferences you may want to repeat
14.Allow all that to dry for several hours before re-mounting
15. Re-mount and enjoy your shiny, new "aftermarket" wheels.

If painting the calipers, then just sand them down a little, mask off the brake disk and everything around the caliper and throw a little red paint on there.
