Painting my wheels

[MntGoat]

So I decided to paint my wheels to match my theme/jeep.

Started with $69 D steel wheels.

Sanded with 400 grit, Prepped with alcohol,....

Into oven for 2 hours to out gas and get hot.

And then pai Ted and back into oven for 20 minutes.

Came out great, looks better in person.

Now to make 4 more match..

Oh, forgot to mention they are powder coated with Prizmatic "super red sparkle"

And as with everything, more will be color matched

I'm using an inexpensive dual voltage gun, and a couple compressors mounted together in an old goat shed...

Got one in jeep with a tire, get mounted Friday when I run to town. Still have 4 to paint, lol, I'll have a cool picture

Well, I need to do 4 more, I just had to mount the spare.

It's overcast, and the sparkle moves, in full sun it pops, there is some flaws but it looks perfect at 3ft

Looks better than I thought it would! Looking forward to seeing them all mounted. My wife would kill me if I used the oven to 'bake' Jeep wheels! Lol. What temperature was oven?

400*

17 inch wheel is max, had to prop door closed.

Grab a brocken glasstop that has working oven, for free.

I have done mostly art and tractor parts art, I need to build a bigger over for the next few projects

Okay, done. They look great from 5ft away, had a major storm come thru last weekend while I was powder coating these in the back yard.

Good enough for offroad pimpalogy
