Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

It was Krylon Charcoal(or dark grey) Mettalic from Wally world with a matching Krylon clear.I spent a couple hours cleaning with a wire wheel,scotch brite and foam sanding block.Then I went to town at the carwash with a degreaser and paid close attention to the seams where the center meets the hoop.I let them dry a day in the garage and an hour or so of sun to bring them to temp.I also set the can of paint in warm water for about 5 min before spraying.I used three coats on each wheel and then waited a couple days before spraying the clear.The directions on the can usually read either to recoat within x amount of time or wait at least 24 hours.
The prep is the key to getting the paint to stay.Degreasing 2-3 times is about the least I would try.Making sure they are dry and at the minimum temp for the paint is also important.
There's no magic to it just lots of grunt work prepping the wheels and some time.I do recommend lighter coats that just cover well since they seem to dry well and don't run.Don't get in a hurry to get the paint on all at once.
All of this is info I learned from hanging out here on the BB.Many don't like rattle can paint and if you don't take the same care with it that you would with a pro spray system then you will get crappy results.I have rattle canned these wheels and the interior of my truck.Both came out well and have lasted well.They wont win any shows but they sure look better than before.And to be honest you really can't tell that the wheels were rattle canned.

Kevin, that is one clean little stepper.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

I paid 1200 dollars for it out of the local newspaper in 2003. Drove it home. Didn't need a single rust repair. Floors, rockers, corners, all of it, dead solid.

You can't find them like that anymore for sure.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

Heres an updated pic of mine. 8" rallies, 235/75/15, all around.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

Those rallies set your truck off perfect. Forgive me if you posted it earlier, but how did you lower the front. I can't tuck my tires in front like yours. I think the drop spindles added a little width.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

one of my fav's

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

Thanks for the compliment! The front of the truck is bagged with dropped spindles and cut cups. The rear is bagged with c-notch and lowering blocks.

Cutting the cups in the front made a big difference in the way it sits. The pic is with truck aired out. Hope this helps.
