Black OEM Wheels?
So someone gave me the idea of turning my stock wheels black. Anyone have pictures of that?
Also, what would be the procedure to do it well? Paint? Powder coat? What prep work would need to be done? Sent from my stupid phone |

It's been covered multiple times. You have a few options.
1. Sandblast then powder coat. 2. Rattle can 3. Plastidip A 10 second search yielded these results. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53368 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13097 Search is your friend.

Search seems to be hit & miss for me. What were your search terms if you don't mind?
Also I was hoping someone could post a pic if they had done it. I haven't found that in search either. Thanks for letting me know to search, but being respectful at the same time. Sent from my stupid phone |

Well, I found a couple pics using Google instead of the forum's search.
I wanted to post the pics, they're from this forum, but I didn't know if that's allowed. Sent from my stupid phone |
