Painting '84 rims

[silver84]

Does anyone else get tired of that ugly black center? Has anyone ever had any luck painting the center to a silver color?

86 had silver...If you are going to do yours ...that black paint is a bear to get off...normal strippers still take forever.

use acetone to get the clearcoat off...then stripper will work on the paint...

see the other thread http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16698 about how to get the paint off easily.... same product works

I actually prefer the black centers, thus my problem is repainting them to look good. The heat is brutal on most paints!



PS which wheels do you have? Those made by Modern have a slight raised rim around painted center.... the Enkei are smooth like on 86 and later models. Not really important, just curious

Heh why paint. Just buy mine. I have extra set just like Jonm's picture. With tires as well. I would say tires are in fair condition. I left them on just to show that the rims hold air. Center caps are perfect.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

First $375 plus shipping can have them.
