Fellow C Curious to find out if anyone has or has known someone who has painted the SRT logo's on their stock wheels? Wheel shot: About a year ago or so, I had seen a pic of a guy who had a 07 DY Superbee and he had painted his logos Yellow. After a meet I had Saturday night, had the idea of painting mine TorRed. I am thinking it's a simple process of getting a fine-tip - touch up paint, cleaning the area, and filling in the grooved letters. Any help with a process and a good source of touch up paint would be appreciated. Thanks
Had some help from the CO guys and this is how it turned out.....went to an auto paint shop to get the items. The two main products was "Wanda" Degreaser for surface prep and the paint was - 1-Shot Lettering Enamel; also from an auto paint shop. It took most of the day yesterday but with drying over night and clean up today....think it turn out great. Had to upgrade these....the US Wheels wanted is still a few years away: Before: After: Side note...currently having my coil pack covers being painted. Will post pics when that mod is done. Have a good one
I didn't see this thread before... paint fill can be really easy on metal or non-porous surfaces. DISCLAIMER: This works great on golf clubs. I've never tried it on my wheels :grin: You don't need to do the tedious thing with a fine tipped brush and hire a surgeon to wield it. You get something like a credit card with a straight edge with some flex to it. Wrap a single layer of fine threaded, fairly thin cloth. Piece of bed linen works great. A t-shirt might be too fuzzy. an old one might be good. Get the cloth in the edge area just damp with the appropriate solvent for the paint you're using. Then paint away. Don't worry about getting it over the edge of the letter indentations, just slop it in there. Wait for it to dry a little bit, not quite dry to the touch but not totally wet. Then you take your dampened cloth straight edge and wipe the excess that went over the edge. Use the straight edge at an angle like you're troweling mortar on bricks and wipe directly over the lettering. You should end up with a perfect edge on your paint fill. The slightly damp cloth should remove the still damp paint and not remove the completely dry clear coat.
