So after much debating and changing my mind about 1000 times I finally went through with it and had my stock rims painted.

The face is done in Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, it is a Chrysler/Dodge color and I love it, looks like black from a distance, but has a ton of metallic that pops out when you are any closer than about 8 feet away.

I also had them do the bowties on the center caps in Sunburst Orange to match the car.

On to the pics












Yeah I know there are some water spots, I just did a quick clean before the pics.

Anyways, lemme know what ya think

 

NICE CAR BRO! How much did it cost you?

 

Looks nice, I just think it would look better if the centers were painted also.

 

x2 i've been wanting to do this... although i've also wanted to do a million other things to my car but don't have the money to do it

 

nice man, those look pretty good!

 

I work at a dealership, so I got the hookup. I had all for wheels prepped, and painted for $100. I would have done it myself, but for the price how could ya go wrong?

That was one of the things I was back and forth on, but I think leaving them unpainted looks better because it provides more contrast, but it would be easy as hell to paint them later on if I change my mind at some point.

Thanks for the input, keep it comin

 

thats exactly how i wanna do my rims.... what paint is it?

edit: nevermind i actually read the post lol

 

^Thanks man, you really hafta see the color in person. The metallic jumps off of them when you get close enough. Such an awesome color

 

yea im painting the face some kind of metallic/pearl black and painting the bowtie black with a silver outline...did u say u had them done at the dealership?

 

Wow thats one of the best painted stock SS/SC rims i've seen yet...others look like ass to me but that is wicked nice!

 

How did you come up with that color...is dar a web site with alot of sweet color mixes?

 

Yeah I work at a Dodge dealership, and fell in love with the color after seeing it so many times. You really hafta see it in person in the sunlight to appreciate it. By far the coolest non-candy black I've ever seen

Thanks alot bro, much appreciated

See above, I'm sure there is such a website, but I found mine at work. Go to a dodge, chrysler or jeep dealership and they should have something in the color, it is awesome. They use it on lots of cars.

 

they look good, now polish up those lips!

 

^Thanks bro, your car was on e of my inspirations for this ^^and Yupp, those are my plans for the winter. I just wanted to get them back on the car for a month before the winter wheels go back on.

I might even park her this winter and drive a demo. I just dunno if I wanna go that long without her

 

You car looks great!

I know what you are talking about with that color and the flake in it. We had a dodge magnum in that color. It is teh sex!

 

^Thanks man,

yeah it's crazy, in the right light with a little dust on it the metallic almost makes the color look like the mineral gray.

We have a Grand Cherokee right now in that color that I absolutely love it

 

no problem man, youve helped me out!

 

so did the dealership paint them??

 

^I had my buddy in the body shop do them, so yeah at the dealership.

 

Lookin' sexxah! I want to do this with my 'balt and leave the center caps just like that. Except for color-match the bowtie on the cap with my paint.

 

i just dont know where to go to get mine done..im not doing em cuz ill mess up

 

Do it up man, you'll love them. I think Black looks the best against yellow and orange cars.

I would do them myself, but like I said for the price I was offered I couldn't refuse. It was well worth it. But if they wanted to charge $200 or more I would have just done them myself

 

fantastic look man.....

makes me very jealous!

maybe after i get a paycheck or to under my belt.

 

damn i love that color! goes well with your car color! +rep!

 

There you are man, been trying to get a hold of you all week.

Hope everything's going well with the new job and such.

I'm happy with the way they turned out.

Much appreciated man
