white steelies

[skelly1]

I could only get a set of 15" white steelies that are 8 lug. I would much prefer black. Should I take the set in to a paint shop and have them painted black? If so, how much should I pay and which shade of black should it be? Semi-flat, flat, semi-gloss, etc. I could always rattle can them, but it seems like a shame when they are brand new.

I did mine with semi-flat and i really like the look, not too dull and not real glossy, easy to clean as well. I used one of those weird sanding wheels for the drill i bought from Autozone, roughed them up and basically down to metal, then hit them with a good voat of black primer and painted them with the semi-flat black paint. Looks good /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

BTW, mine were rattle canned, it's not hard to do them this way because there is not a real large surface area.

Then also when you scratch them out on the trails, you can always just touch them up with the same can of paint. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
