Bob C Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Mine are silver. I have seen gloss black, white, and grey also. When I got my new tires I wanted to get my rims sandblasted and powder coated. The guy that was going to do it for me informed me that it would take 3 weeks to get the rims back. The tires went back onto my silver painted rims. It would have looked good but I was not going to wait 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdqmovie Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi bob , I think I try to do it my self with sanding down and using some type of spray paint. In a can. Just wanted to get close to the color of the rims Thanks for your info Price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrbus Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Several years ago I wanted to do a fast and cheap job on my motorhome wheels. I am not a fan of rattle cans but going the fast and cheap route I purchased this paint at Wallys. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Color-Place-Rust-Control-Spray-Enamel-11-oz-Gloss-White/19535850 I was impressed with it, it looked good for several years. It did not need a primer. It is a soft paint so scuffed easy, any time a tire was changed I sprayed the nuts again. I do not know what color it comes in?

WME Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 What I did. Pressure wash the rims at a car wash. Use self etching primer 1 coat. Then to help hide minor imperfections I used Hammer tone spray paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrbus Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It will be interesting to see how it holds up. JIm SW FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakthecoast Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I spray painted mine black. Personally I hate white wheels on an rv. If you do it yourself, spend time sanding and your paint job always looks better. Also you can do one wheel at a time and throw your spare on, so your still mobile, that's what I did. Pick your poison, your wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Toyota Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Been a while since I saw a set of real chains I have run many miles and many winters on those like you have and gone up hills and past stuck people on compact ice compact ice with 3 inches of water on top slick as you know what. those are for serious going tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgibson4 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Kayakthecoast, I think you have your chains on inside-out. I believe the lugs on the cross-chains should face the pavement. At least, that's the way I learned it when I was raised in Wyoming, lo these many years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakthecoast Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Correct, I was playing with them in the driveway, they are new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrbus Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What I did. Pressure wash the rims at a car wash. Use self etching primer 1 coat. Then to help hide minor imperfections I used Hammer tone spray paint. The hammer tone may have been a wise choice! I did mine in aluminum color and does not look good at all.

jjrbus Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Repainting the wheels while I have them off for airbags. The Rustoleum silver hammered paint looks much better than the silver spray paint I used. I am brushing it on which is challenging. But they will look super at anything over 6 MPH! Thanks pdqmovie for posting this.

jjrbus Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It has been a month and this Rustoleum Hammertone paint should be cured by now? This was brushed on, it is dry, but too soft and scratches far too easy. It looks nice and is ok for now but I would not use it again.

Maineah Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Having owned a few Tacoma's (including my 2011) their wheel paint sucks! I have sand blasted and primed them tried every thing what every they prime them with does not come off and won't take paint! I just get out my roll of roof flashing put it around the rim and paint the dang things every spring. Rustoleum usually sticks to any thing except Tacoma wheels for more than a year.

jjrbus Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have an aluminum truck tool box I had high hopes for with this paint. But will have to look elsewhere. JIm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
