I hate the silver rims on me 450 & I have been thinking about try to paint them. Do you all think this would work, Ruff the rims with stochbrite the spray on truck bed liner. I have used this stuff on old racks & on my trailer and it holds up real good. I dont have a lot of $$$$ to spent so new rims or poudercoat is out of the ?

 

[Railroader]

I think it would work. It would probably hold up better than usin' regular
black spray paint.

 

[Truegrit]

Truck bedliner is will be hard to keep clean and hold mud due to its texture. Just go w/ a good quality black spray paint.

 

[Railroader]

I didn't think about that. About holdin' mud. They would always look dirty.

 

[Rincon 650]

They would always look dirty...or always look clean..? Is the glass half empty or half full. Ha Ha

 

[Railroader]

Since i'm more of a positive thinkin' feller, i would say half full.

i painted mine with semi flat rustoleum and they are holding up great so far. i scuffed them up real good with scotchbrite then cleaned them good taped them up and sprayed away
here is a pic

looks good..did you take the tires off or just paint them with em on??
i figured you could put vasoline on the tires and paint then when you got done wipe the vasoline off..plus you will have nice and shiny tires to boot..

 

[05foreman500]

i left the tires on and just taped the silver ring around the edge, i also just used a 1 foot chunk of cardboard to stop from painting the tires. and the rust-olum held up great this weekend they still look good. but i somehow lost one of those little rubber hub covers oops

 

[Railroader]

Lady Foreman lost one of hers too. Those things won't stay in that good. I
wish they made them stay in better some how. I guess you could get some
really good glue & try that. I think i will do that to hers & mine & see how it
works.

Railroader...You may want to consult ladyForeman before you go and start glueing her bike...You may wake up and find SOMETHING ELSE glued shut...Ha Ha Ha

 

[SHEPARD1828]

i used that gorilla glue to keep my little rubber cover on and have never lost one.

Your probably right since she DOES wear the pants in the family.

 

[Rincon 650]

The other night my wife and i got into a heated one over who was going to make the decision....I told her to put on my britches for once, and she picked them up, tried them on and said " I cant fit into these..these pants are way to big for me." I told her to remember that the next time she questions me. She then said, " Here..try my britches on for once ". I tried them on as screamed " Aint no way Im getting into these pants " She said " And you wont until you change your attitude !!!!!!!!!!!!! "

 

[wvforeman]

[SASQUATCH]

[wvforeman]
