TJ rims what should I do?

[esi]

you don't like black Dale???

black is good but I seem to have developed a grey fetish. Was holding out for a grey WJ, but the blue W  was too good to pass up. My burb is graphite, and at some point there's going to be more grey on the Z as well. I painted the GMC reflector in the grill of my old truck with that wheel paint and it stood up really well. And it has a little texture to like powder coating.

Gun metal grey would be very nice...

Well then PURPLE!!

get them powdercoated at Top Gun, when i built my probe parts i had all of them powder coated there, it was fast and quality work. i've done my sandblasting at Consolidated Compressor 9516 40 Street Se. when i was there it was something like $85 per hour and you can blast as much as you want in that time frame.

Well, if the cladding is going black the wheels might as well be black as well. Have youconsidered gator guarding all the way up to the body line? Just to be different?

YES......................... actually, I have

The goop is aircraft paint remover it eats and gells the paint, then it just washes off. Then I'd go and get some duplicolor gunmetal 0r graphite wheel paint and spray them with that.

hey esi, where do you find this aircraft paint remover??  I have a set of wheels that I would really like to try this on.

-=edit=-

I found this place:

Smith-McLeay Coatings.  Apparently they sell it.

how much does sand blasting cost? where'd i get it done???

Consolidated Compressor

 The fee is around $100 per HR to use the equipment. Four rims should be less than 1/2hr. If someone else needs stuff done split the cost. Its good and more efficient to have a helper to move stuff around while your in the hood doing the sand basting. Last time I went we did my rebuilt tire carrier  and Rons' diff in 1 Hr. All parts down to clean metal.  I have used the equipment a few times in an hour you can clean more parts and do a better job then if you spent a whole day with a wire brush.

that aircraft paint remover looks sweet, now I want to find something to strip for the hell of it...

Johnny do that, then let me try some of the left overs

and that gunmetal grey does look nice, but on a dark green jeep, with gator guarded black cladding, I think the grey would look funny. I'm still thinking black.

on a side note, I do like that gloss black I stole last night for my rear handle, it looks good, I'll have to pick up a can and do the door handles tonight.
