Alright guys, so today I pulled all of my stock wheels and began painting them. So far I've gotten two of the four done. I'm going to finish the other two tomorrow. I've painted them black, and added a clear coat on top of that. Here's the problem I'm having. One of them is just a tad lighter than the other one because the clear coat went on a little thicker. I'm sure other people won't notice it, but I do because I know it's there. lol I was wondering if there's a way to possibly darken it? Any input you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

 

just strip the wheels and re-paint them stock color. painted stockies look cheap.

 

Well seeing as I'm buying new wheels soon. It's something to keep me busy. Nonetheless your input had nothing to do with helping my cause. Thanks for your opinion.

 

this was my favorite part of your post. you get what you ask for

 

Just a suggestion. Put a subject in the subject line like

Squeaking brakes

instead of

Help

Need help immediately

or

If you don't help right away I will die!

 

You wanted to do a cheap paint job and you got a cheap paint job... I see no problem

Oh, and no pics, no specs on the paint you used, or the methods you used... for all we know your DIY paint job will flake after the first wash anyway.

Yet, you want text advice for fixing a sub-par paint job, ok here it is - hire someone to do it right.

 

+1 on wired24/7...
plus you did ask for opinions.
I suggest knitting if you find yourself bored during the passing hours of the day.
To properly paint the wheels, i sure hope you scuffed the hell out of em before painting... and you must be using some sort of laquer clear coat to have it come out partly opaque when sprayed too thick..

hence all the above posts.. sounds horrible, re-do.
Jus the truth man.

 

if at first you don't suceed try and try again
or take it to a pro-paint shop if you fail a 3rd time.
what aftermarket wheels do you have planned for the future?

 

Good afternoon sir,
Please start another thread with a title that pertains to thread content. Thank you for your cooperation...
