6G Celicas Forums

So I own a white 98 celica ft and I am wanting to do something different to it. In my opinion I think my white celica would look really good with black rims, but im not wanting to spend $600+ on rims, so im thinking painting my stock rims black and throwing on a really high gloss clear coat on them. Would this work and has anybody done this? Thanks

I just recently did mine. They are holding up nicely, and still look great.

First page and a half is the process. Write up with supplies, and process on last page. Can't miss it, its huge.

Have fun, hope you have strong forearms.

do it there are alot of ways to do it and help on here, and btw look at the nky ohio meet thread in my sig

i used to have painted rims...still a pic in my profile

I dont ahve stock rims, but I got rims that were "shiny" lol, and hated the way they looked, so I grabbed a can of flat black paint, and painted all my rims.
heres a pics, they turned out great, and haven't chipped at all

Yeah, I painted my rims too. Don't use Duplicolor paint unless you throw some serious clear coat on that because mine are chipping like crazy. (I didn't prep as well as I should have though.)

Prep is key. Anyone can spray paint on =P

make sure u sand them down very well, esp if they are a lil rusty and pitted like mine were. my rims on my 95 were a lil funky lookin but i cleaned them up and painted the silver and black. i get lots of compliments on them and r shocked when i tell them they r stock.

they will look good. .my friend did mine with some 20$ can of paint and they are still holding after about a year, and they look great!

I painted my scion rims all PPG Global Paint and clear Gold and black marble . As I am a ICAR platinum, ASE Master, PPG platinum certified Painter.
