I like the Hammered paint.
My sliders are hammered grey, looks good on my Jeeps green paint imo.

My new trick is to paint the hammerite and then spray some black over it....then sand it down.....the black paint comes off but leaves black in the hammerites "pits". That hammerite is some tough

i painted my skid pan red

My Bumpers are black and my skid plates are red. I just thought tan (truck), black and red was a good color combo.

One time back in the 90s I decided to paint my calipers and brake drums on my '94 pickup yellow. I asked my buddy Ian what he thought of them and what he said pretty well sums it up: "Well... It kind of makes you wonder who drives it."

That being said, you guys can paint you sliders whatever color you want and you'll never be as tacky as our neighboor kid who painted the steel wheels on his '68 Dart metalic gold... gaack!

It all looks good scratched off on the rocks though... To each their own! Wheel On!

Well the black bug bit me and I now have black wheels. I powdercoated them at school.

Engine got the black treatment because it looks slick with the aluminum.

88_Pathy · « **Reply #77 on:** Oct 05, 2008, 05:14:43 PM »

Those are some shiney wheels

94MtnYote · « **Reply #78 on:** Oct 14, 2008, 07:42:43 PM »

powder coat looks great, although it needs a little dirt to tone the gloss down.

toyotamobing · « **Reply #79 on:** Oct 21, 2008, 09:46:02 PM »

yea here a little too sparkly

Reynolds · « **Reply #80 on:** Oct 24, 2008, 10:05:51 PM »

I had a black truck for about 3 years out of the 5 I've owned it. I think all black everything is over-rated now. Flat black rigs don't appeal to me as much as they used to. I guess it depends on the vehicle though

Reynolds · « **Reply #81 on:** Oct 24, 2008, 10:07:42 PM »

See I dig this because it's a car but how many wheelers have flat black trucks? Too many, IMO

toyotamobing · « **Reply #82 on:** Oct 24, 2008, 10:47:21 PM »

I agree. Although, my bumpers and sliders are black, there really isn't anything else that would match with flat desert tan so black it is.

I don't know about your green/blue/gray thing you got goin on though. What color are the sliders going to be? Orange?

94MtnYote · « **Reply #84 on:** Nov 02, 2008, 02:18:26 PM »

flat colored spray paint does not seal out rust or moisture, so a primer or something with gloss should go on under the flat. our welding instructor recently mentioned this to us.....

dtrailtaco · « **Reply #87 on:** Nov 10, 2008, 11:38:05 AM »

mine are black because it is 98 cents a can, and my truck is flat back so i dont have to mask off anything when i need to touch up stuff.
