im in the process of cleaning up and painting the engine bay while motor is out. i already stripped down the frame and redid it in Hammer'd black. now htink of doing my Wheel liners. I this past year just armoral'd them for shows but was thinking maybe doing them in a semi' gloss black or even thinking of doing them in white

so lets hear what you think and if you ahve any pics post them on up





these are some pics of the progress im at now. still have to clean up the rack and the sway bar. couldnt touch much since it was still semi tacky

 

Quik I think that I would stay away from white, after all we are in PA and our roads SUCK.. Your white would turn into tar and chipped black with some yellow and white road paint haha.. I would leave them just the black plastic at least on the wheel side. Maybe just paint the inner side of them, or hell maybe that is what you are talking about anyway... I dunno I should just go back to bed.

 

I don't care how much flex additive gets put in that paint, IMO it's going to crack. Those things are too flexible. Leave em bare plastic and keep em clean.

 

you need to get a better camera there punk lol. looking good so far though dude... should be nice when its all said and done

 

I wouldn't paint them. They will just chip and crack like crazy. Just leave them alone and hose them down with Armor All tire foam every week or two and they will look great.

 

IMO if you are going to paint the inners use some adhension promoter and some interior plastic paint/dye....

 

Pat, i think he's just wanting to paint the inner not the outter part of the plastic wheel well liner thingy. I say go for it if you can keep it clean, white would look really nice if its well maintained.

 

Try some Bulldog brand adhesion promoter. I use it when I paint all my bumper covers and all my interior trim parts. It's got a flex agent already in the mix too! You can get it at any CarQuest store and most Auto Zones carry it. If not I think you can order it off their website.

 

this is one place you don't want paint, it WILL crack or chip sooner or later

 

Paint it white and if it cracks or chips just spray it again
