Before & After

[happeetxn]

I hope I am posting this in the right forum. I got tired looking for a new hubcap for my truck. I was too cheap to spend 76.00 on a new and won't part with the $$$ for new wheels. I have this little hand held sandblaster (Northern Tool) some primer and paint and here is what I ended up with:

I know it is not the same wheel but the rear one looks just as good now. I think that I am going to take the bearing cap off and shoot it aluminum.

Looks pretty good. I think silver would look better on your rims and black on the hubs. Thats my opinion though.

i was just gonna say the black on black tire looks good. chrome silver would look ok too i guess.

Which tire dressing you use on the tires Craig?

Paint job on the rims turned out well

 

[police stroker]

Very well done to hold you over I'd do the same.

i have done the black rim with a painted silver ring. didn`t look bad at all. also puuting on some chrome lug nuts wouldn`t look bad either....

You were reading my mind. I was thinking how some chrome lug nuts would look pretty good.

CHP the tire dressing is made by BLUEMAGIC. It is called JET WET Hi-gloss Tire Shine. However, I can't tell you where I got it. It had to be Autozone / Orielly's / or possibly Target. I don't really go to too many other places so it had to be one of these.
