Painted my wheels almost the same way I painted my other ones, just used self-etching primer all around instead on the outer lip.. Not going to include my prep, since other members ride my as$ for every little thing i do, but it should stick alot better since these wheels weren't polished aluminum. I still used the same paint though. and instead of masking off everything, i just used dish soap on the tires to keep paint from getting on them.

The self-etching primer makes a good military-green color.

I also re-colormatched the frame and tie rods.. I liked it alot better like that, adds a custom touch

Color match the front bumper and 94+ mirrors colormatched would be sweet. Damn I wish my truck was white lol.

I plan on doing exactly that! except get towing mirrors

Did you sand any of the chrome before painting it?

 

[ShadowRejects]

FINALLY!!! I love this truck. how did you make the things on either side of the license plate?

I made those out of some thin sheet metal awhile back to cover a HUGEE Dent on the size of my truck. Wasn't that hard to make. i just cut out like some squares and bent them into shape and screwed them into the plastic plate housing. It wasnt hard to make

barely haha. light sand and prime. the mirror caps get chips due to mud and rocks flinging into them off road

I plan on building my own front winch bumper like the one i designed

Not trying to "bash" but I would guess that's why your paint chips off from mud.
