white deepdish 20" bullits?

#3
I'm just trying to see if they make them. Glad I still have my hvlp devilbis spray gun huh....I'm gonna have to order two 20x10 & 20x9 amricanmuscle bullit painted wheels and go to work on my scheme. I just bought a 2005 gt and I want white wheels on it.

If anyone does find any 20" bullit white wheels please let me know.
Thanks

This is an interesting thread because I have silver 18x9 DD bullitts and I was thinking of painting them black. Could I do it myself with a can of paint? Which paint? How would it look? I don't mean to hijack the thread.

blacksheep06,

You can't do it with a can of paint, there is more involved. A bodyshop would have to do it if you want a proffesional job. You need adhesion promoter, primer(if color is way diff than the one you had) has to be prepped and shot just right etc...

I wouldnt go as far as to say " a body shop would have to do it". I have shot plenty of things and its not hard.I agree a can of paint wont cut it unless you want a flat finish. You couls also just have them powder coated,probably cost less then painting them. The materials alone might get kinda pricey, if you dont have paint supplies,compressor or a gun. A detail gun would work fine.

I talked to Les Schwab here in Washington because I wanted white wheels for my yellow stang. They said they have a place that paints there truck wheels white that could do it for $50/wheel. Only trick is it has to be a painted surface, not polished or anything.

what do you mean by a detail gun? I think nohting is as good as a boodymans/paintors work, not nessesarily at a bodyshop, but by someone who is a paint expert. It's like having an electrician do yoru carpentry, unless he is a licensed electrician and carpenter.
I've shot many cars in my time ( way over 100 overall paintjobs) just just my 2 cents.
here's pics of my car www.picshome.com/gallery_view.php?gid=5426, for sale by the way

I wonder who does their paint if they dont know how to painted polished aluminum???? You have to etch the aluminum first so it has a "rougher" surface and then you prime and paint like normal.

Great iskwezm, When I say a bodyshop, I mean a PROFFESIONAL paintor. If one is a carpenter and considers himself to be good enough to shoot the wheels, and he/she follows the steps involved they should go for it. However there are many things involved as far as getting the work done 1 time and haveing a hard glossy finish that will stick and will not rub off with your fingernail. I would def go with proffessional automotive materials either way.

again, just my 2 cents...

P.S ordered my 20" Bullit wheels and will spray them next month.
