DIY painted wheels, and finally 1st time pics posted - TundraTalk.net

CJ_Stewart11 · 06-11-2008, 09:17 PM

So I have had the truck for over a month now and been talking about posting pics. Finally here they are. Nothing special, so far just in-channel window visors, 9" stubby antenna, and DIY painted black OEM wheels. Stainless steel step bars are still sitting at Toyota waiting for install. Enjoy, this will be the beginning that I can refer back to to see what all improvements I have made.

You can always get them powder coated too.

You guys are doing good. The wheels are looking sweet!

CJ_Stewart11 · 06-15-2008, 09:03 PM

all together for the 4 rattle cans of black wheel paint, 1 can of primer and 1 can of clear plus the 320 grit sand paper I guess it was about $30-35. This will hold me off from new wheels for now.

As for the calipers I am undecided what color. Probably just go black.
