Is it a good idea to paint your wheelwells?, Mine apear grey and I want to get a dark black look. If you have and it turned out well, what paint did you use.
Thanks

Haven't done it on the vette but did do it on the Lexus and it turned out good. Used Trim Paint from Duplicolor (i think). Got it at Autozone.

About twice a year or more depending on how many car shows I attend. I use a flat black from Wal-Mart about $1.50/can. Make sure you mask off everything you don't want black as when you spray in that wheelwell the air/paint goes everywhere. It's a good time to do those calipers as you will have the wheels off. Plus get those rims clean inside and out! Good luck!

I use the tire foam cleaner stuff that turns your sidewalls shiney and black in my wheelwells... I can do it after arriving somewhere you want them to look nice and no worry about leaving black overspray on the car... Works very well!! I've done it for a long time... I know there was a thread about it a while back.. others do it too!! I use it in the front air ducts as well...

Try this..

Go to http://www.adamspolishes.com/site/de...369A&killnav=1 and get some "In & Out" spray ... that stuff is amazing... it renews the black of the plastic parts... use it on your cowl and in your engine bay too!

I do similar. Every now and then I just pull my wheels and wash all the mud, blood and beer from the wheel wells. I will spray with tire black, or vinyl treatment. I clean on the inside of my wheels at this time as well.

Maguiers exterior trim detailer also does a good job and is very easy to use.

I found out about this stuff several years ago. Great product and works very well to make the wheel wells, weatherstripping, etc look like new.
