This is how I painted my Hummer H2 wheels

This is what one of the wheels looked like except all over the wheel and this is what caused me to decided to paint the whole wheel.



First I washed the wheels with soap and water and brush..

Then I blew them all off with the air hose to dry them..



Then I went to town scrubbing them down with scotchbrite and 800 grit sand paper.. Every corner and every crevis..



This is what it looked like when I was done.. No shineyness left.



I then wiped them down with a lint free cloth and some rubbing alcohol to get everything off of them.

Then I used Duplicolor Self-Etching Primer and sprayed them with a couple coats.



I let them sit over night to dry in the heated shop since it was getting down in the 40s at night here

Then I sanded down the few spots that needed attention and then wiped them down again and used Duplicolor Wheel coating in Flat black. I did a light coat, let them sit for about 7-8 minutes and then shot another light coat, let them sit for about another 7-8 minutes and then sprayed a pretty heavy coat.




Now just time to let them cure good.. Now just have to decide if i am going to used chrome center caps, paint the center caps black, or go no center caps and use chrome lug nuts... Hopefully the paint holds up ok mounting the tires...

 

awesome job

 

Look GREAT!

I did the same thing. As long as the paint cures good they are pretty tough!

 

Here they are mounted finally!

It's amazing the only nice wheel that GM makes I've seen on more Dodges than on Chevy's.

They look great!

 

Thanks guys! At the first thought of the black wheels i wasnt to fond of it, but after i did it, i really like the way it looks, now just paint the hubs and lug nuts...

 

yea i always like black wheels on white trucks

 

I like it. I wonder how it would look with after market chrome center caps and lug nuts.

 

great write up and lookin good
