Make wheels black

**Eric1987** · 02-18-2009, 10:08 AM

Just curious of what is the best way of going about this. Taking it to a shop or doing it myself. I want my wheels black just not the glossy black. The unfinished black I think they call it flat black? If anyone could show pics that would be nice just so you guys understand what im talking about.

you talkin about satin or semi gloss. . . flat will look tacky

**Eric1987** · 02-18-2009, 10:14 AM

I dont want any gloss on it like your paint job on the car. I do not want that black. My car is already black. I seen some people drive around in black cars with flat black wheels and I think it looks sex.

flat black will look like crap imo. flat looks like primer . . . satin black will not have a lot of shine but minimal, giving more of a finished look.

flat often gives a chalky or dirty look.

get them powder coated it looks real good and last longer than paint.

**Eric1987** · 02-19-2009, 12:31 AM

I can get them like that in the flat black that I want?

Powder coated is the way to go. I've seen satin black wheels powdercoated and they look the shit. I think you would be more than happy...

Powder coat it anything you like. It will be durable as hell

Look if you want flat black. take wheels off car, clean very well. use a red scuff pad and some sanding paste or you can use comet and water. Go to the store and buy some fat black high temp paint. Done.
