I had planned on "demolding" the doors also today, but I ran outta time!! Maybe on another 'nice day.'

WOW!!!! That looks freaking awesome!!! How did you paint the Calipers and the rotors? I am wanting to paint mine here soon.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look's good.:smileup:

Calipers were the brush on "caliper kit" paint from Advance Auto. Comes in a box with cleaner also. If you use this kit, be sure to use your own paint brush though. The one they give you in the kit is junk and falls apart. I think I paid $17 for the kit.

Rotors - I used just some black high heat paint designed for rotors in a spray can I got from AutoZone. I think it was about $5.

Looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! They dont have the colors I want to use so I am hoping maybe these cans of OEM Mopar paint I have will work? I just dont know, only reason I havent done mine yet.

Great job on both the calipers and the wheels ~ Looks AWESOME!!!


Tee and I just bought some HIgh temp paint and painted ours and I think they came out GREAT ~ Spent $7 and sprayed em; just used an old tee shirt and wrapped around the calipers.... we did ALL of our like this ~ works great and can do 'em in NO time with out even removing the calipers.

NOW YOU TELL ME!!! LOL Thanks for the info...

If I told you that, then I'd be -rep points. lol

I just used some Plasti Dip spray. I found a link on another site and started doing some research on it. Came out ok, and it's a lot cheaper than new wheels.

NOW YOU TELL ME!!! LOL Thanks for the info...

No problem... I have done mine and some for some other folks too; it's a lotta FUN for me!!! I must have 40 different cans of spray paint and can knock 'em out in no time... I do use brake cleaner first, blow them off with my air compressor, prime (but you really don't have to prime either), take and old cloth, pull tightly, and it'll wrap itself right around the calipers; then take a small screwdriver and tuck it in, in the corners. Take longer to jack the car up and pull the wheels than the actual JOB!

I had yellow that I wanted to paint my caliper on my BLUE R/T, just to be different but the paint was spraying bad, so I used GOLD paint; not bad but NOT what I really wanted. I did NOT want orange, 'cuz Tee painter her's orange, although that really stands out.

So I am guessing if later on you dont want them black anymore you could peel the paint off? If thats the case that is freaking awesome!!!!

Exactly the case. That's the main reason I tried this out, because it's completely reversible if I didn't like it (although I do.)
It's just a thin rubber coating on the rim.

A lot of guys do this also to their rims from what I've been reading online & a lot of cheap people like me that want black rims, but don't want to spend $600+ for them.

Well hell I am about to try this now LOL I am also cheap and been wanting to paint the inside of my wheels and the windows

Looks great!!! Some nice mods!!

Holy shit Kris, those look freaking badass!

I read several threads where guys did all 4 of their rims with 2 cans. I don't know how that is possible, but anyway.
I used almost 2 cans just on the insides of the rims, behind the chrome cladding so when you look at the wheel, you don't see silver behind the black fronts.
Then I moved onto the fronts with my remaining 2+ cans. Still not enough to finish for me. I went back to the store and bought 2 more cans. I needed 1 to finish thoroughly, and 1 extra in case I had issues later. So altogether, I used 5 cans on these @ about $7 a can.

thanks man! lol

Damn that isnt bad at all! Like you said a lot cheaper than buying black wheels or have someone else paint them.

I think masking off the windows to paint them might be a bit tedious, but if you want to give it a shot - go for it. Just be sure to use nice coats - I did probably 4-5 coats on mine. Started off thin, then increasingly thicker.

I tried to mask off mine and paint the windows at first just to see how it would look - epic fail!! I couldn't even get the tape to stick to the chrome clads. LOL

Oh boy, sounds like I may just be doing the back sides then

Looks great!! Nice job!!:smileup:

nice :smileup:

I am going to try out that paint to do the inside of my SRT rims. Looks good.

AWESOME job!!!

Damn that looks good.

Thanks to YOU too for the information on the Plastic Dip Spray ~ saved this link to my favorites ~ I want some to paint the back of my SRT wheels!!!

X2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That looks great. The rims and brakes came out awesome. Where do you get the wheel paint from and also wshat was you refering to when you mentioned painting thw windows?

i think it looks really good,both the wheels and the calipers:smileup:.How durable is the plastic dip on the wheels though?Does it scratch off easy?

Looks good. Way to save some mula.

I got the paint plasti dip from Lowes & the "windows" on the wheels. The inside/side parts

Most people say it will last 1yr+ if applied properly. I looked today and found some light spots where I had to do some touch ups like around the edges and on the sides of the spokes on the rims. We'll see how it holds up.
If it doesn't, then I'm only out $35 and about 3hrs of time to do the painting.

Google it. There are tons of vids on youtube.com and lots of write ups about it. Cheap way to change your rims.

LOL.......thanks!!!! I am too embarrased to say what I thought you meant when you and Chris was mentioning painting the windows.
I will have to get get me some of that because I was wanting to see what my rims would like with the lip chrome and spokes painted black.

that is the perfect thing to use then - buy a can and do a test rim
if you like it, buy some more & if not - just peal it off

Once I put my GTS covers on the head lights / fogs / tail lights it will totally complete the blackout of all the chrome & white

What color did u use? and what was ur prep for it....thinkin black wheels would really set off my Bee

prep for wheels or calipers?

wheels i only cleaned the chrome clads well, then sprayed them with the plasti dip - make sure you get them with a good coating though
calipers i just cleaned them well and sprayed the black with spray & the red was a brush on kit

Those black wheels really pop against that red car. Looks sharp!
