The Anti-black Wheel Thread

I decided that Doug, colojeepguy, is right. Black wheels are so lame. I picked up some “sand” rustoleum spray cans and went to town on Teds wheels. They look amazing. I can’t wait until tomorrow when they are dry! Next up is the red jeep. It’s going to get red wheels.

Cheap playing cards work great when painting wheels with tires.



Now let’s see who else is brave enough to change wheel color.

 

Nice.

 

I like it...looks great.

 

Nate- Expensive cards work too

 

Can't wait to see them on Ted. Good tip with the playing cards too. Thanks.

 

But I went to all the work of cleaning them up and painting them BLACK......

 

I love the thread, but I'm not painting my brushed aluminum wheels any color.

I like black wheels... and silver ones, and red ones, gray ones, tan ones. It'd be easier to list what I don't like

Chrome and bright green. That's all that comes to mind.

 

That looks sharp! Very nice!

 

Ted is liking his new look!

 

That looks awesome.

 

When using cheap cards just don't use the ones they sell at casinos. They all got holes in the middle.

 

I use a hoop of aluminum flashing. Perfect.

 

Those look great Nate

 

that looks really sharp!...classy even!

 

Thanks guys. So who's next?

 

I did mine with age. I wish I could reproduce that look for the top and doors!

 

Looks great, Nate. I wonder what type or style or color of wheel a government/Forest Service vehicle would have been delivered with. Be neat to see some color pics of such a thing. Maybe a pinstripe around the centers?

Ted is one of my favorite JEEPs. You could set on fire and roll it down a hill and it would still be a favorite.

 

Ted is so great looking. It all flows together perfectly.

 

Some of these videos have been shared here before, awesome work and worth watching in their entirety, but you can fast forward to 14:00 in the attached if you want to see how he "antiques" the finish. Probably a pile-o-money to be made if a guy can perfect this on full scale vehicles using quality paint products...

 

Nate , I realize that this thread is over 3 years old.....but I reckon I'm next ? When you get a minute, could you reply with a pic of your red wheels on your red Jeep ? .
