I have a set of 20" OEM's (aluminum) originals off my FX4 sitting and waiting for me to work on them.

I would like to attempt to sand and paint them.

I don't wanna mess them up, but i would like to give it a try, it would cost over $500 to get a shop to do it.

Now they have some light scratches, and some salt corrosion around where the weights where, but still in decent shape over all.

I would like to paint only the OEM silver painted areas, and paint that black.

And the rest (rim/lip and spokes) leave it, just sand that area somehow, and clear coat everything when done.

Has anyone have done this?

Tips and pics would be appreciated

Cheers

 

One member has. Hopefully he'll post some pics.

 

Hoping someone pops up with some tips.

 

A quick search turned up this excellent thread.

Here is another guy who painted his the way you suggested.



Here is his album with pictures of his truck. I think he ended painting his DSG to match his truck.

I just sent stang a note, thats more what i'm trying to do. Just paint some not all, masking will be the trick i bet. Wonder if he sanded the whole rim, painted the inserts, then clear coated the whole rim. Thanks again KR
