I was wondering that if the Stock RS rims' colors didnt look good with my scheme I was going to paint them black chrome. Do any of you know where I can get black chrome paint???

i think Dupli-Color has Black chrome. available at most auto parts stors that have their products.

In all honesty though I think black Chrome wheels look like Chrome wheels with brake dust caked on it...in other words, dirty wheels.

I think (or hope) he was talking about a professional place that will do the wheels in blck Chrome.the thought of using a rattle can on the wheels makes me want to vomit.

yeah, dont do it yourself, i dont think it would turn out too good. I think it would look like black spray painted wheels, not black chrome wheels.

Oh God no. I'm Having my uncle, the same one whos painting my car do the rims at his bodyshop. I just love the way it shines.

now normally i wouldnt agree on this. but in your case i will. I dont think the RS wheels will go good with your paint scheme. and normally i HATE black wheels but i just dont see anything else looking good on your car.

I know, that grey would kill the entire thing so I have to paint them. I would just look halfasted.

Glad you changed your mind about that, by chance do you happen to be a New Orleans Saints Fan?

I think you would be happier if you took the tires off the rims and got the rims powdercoated Black. It is more durable and looks just as good as paint.

pinkcamaro10 · 08-10-2008, 01:33 PM

yeah powdercoated would look real nice!

Xanthos · 08-10-2008, 03:05 PM

Yep, I'm debating between having the rims powder coated black or buying new ones - not sure which would cost more, since I've never had rims powdercoated before.
