has anyone painted the limited edition wheels? If so does any one have any pictures of it, and what kind of paint was used? I know if i got moabs i would never sell mine so i thought i might try to give my current ones a new look. |

If you go to rockyroad's website ( I dont know how to add links) there is a kj that has it done and it is bad as hell. It has inspired me to do that and just buy spacers. well if I cant get moab's for a decent price anywhere. |

I've seen the sport wheels painted, and like them, but im more curious to what the limited edition wheels would look like. |

They're aluminum so make sure to get the proper paint and primer for such. You'd probably also have to scratch the surface of them with a wire wheel or something similar, to prep them for paint as they seem to have some sort of coating on them that I think you'd have to get off in order for paint to stick well. I really think they'd look good in a semi-gloss (or hammered, if it's possible) black, myself. |

Dont use a wire wheel that would leave deep scratches, just lightly sand and primer well, use a good paintnot something cheap |

yea i do plan on using a semi-gloss black, low gloss of even flat always seems much easier to work with. I'm still not 100% sure im going to do this. a friend of mine painted his wheels on his Z71 and it looks great but I'm going to see durable it is. and he used some krylon semi-gloss spray paint, no sanding either so im not sure how long it will adhere. |

Some tire and wheel stores sell a mild acid for cleaning aluminum wheels. This mild acid will also open the pours of the aluminum and allow the paint to adhere better making you a much happier camper. I seem to be having some interner explorer browser poo issues this morning. If a like post pops in...oh well. best wishes, Landy |
