TheBlubaru Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I am painting my rims black at some point this week or next. I am trying to decide between flat black and gloss black and was looking for some opinions I plan on keeping the chrome lip. Flat black appeals to me because blemishes are much less noticeable and its less expensive to do but the rims also come in gloss black and I like how they look. Here is a picture of my car with the rims on it before I took them off to sand them. http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff439/Caleb_Ingerson/DSC_2299.jpg God created turbo lag to give V8s a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010Legacy Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 IMHO painting wheels black is so 2001. But if you have to then i guess flat black. Other color choice would be a clean & simple silver color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlubaru Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 yea the only colors I really like on blue are gold and bronze and the torks wouldn't look to good in gold or bronze. Also I would say black and chrome is common but the reason its so common is because it looks good. I wouldn't paint the rims at all but the chrome finish was chipping off and the previous owner had already primed one rim. so 1 was black and 3 were chrome.

Sicotic Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Well i say gloss black, if you do it properly. If you got Flat black I say use plasti dip so later you can just peel it off if you don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
