Finished painting my rallys - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

These are the 15X7 rallys that I picked up at the swap meet for $50. I have a set of rings and caps that go with them too.
They were in pretty bad shape when I got them. The paint that was on them was cracked and they were rusted pretty bad. I had them sand blasted and primed then I went to work on 'em. I wet sanded them, painted the backs and outsides with Dupli-Color's semi-gloss black and then sprayed the fronts with Argent Silver (rattle can) from Eastwood.

$50, sounds to me like you got a good deal. I have slots for my truck that still need some TLC...

ooooooooooohhhhh. Nice job, they look great.

Super Chevy · 06-17-2002, 11:02 PM

15x8 truck rallys.

Very nice,.

You can be proud of those. It's always more fun when you can make something out of nothing.

Nice Job!,
How much does sand blasting cost for rims?

*Randy70C-10* · 06-18-2002, 08:35 AM

Those look great! Much cheaper than buying new ones too.

SWINGSAX68 · 06-18-2002, 09:16 AM

Would taking the rims I have and haveing them rechromed be cheaper than buying new ones??

mikej71 · 06-18-2002, 09:37 AM

Nice work!
I'm about to attempt repainting mine, but they're still on the truck.
I've got to get rid of some peeling white paint first. Sure wish I could get them blasted.

busterwivell · 06-18-2002, 12:02 PM

I sandblasted and powdercoated a couple of wheels for my trailer. Used the Eastwood Almost chrome. They look pretty cool, specially for a 100.00 trailer. It's fun to do that at home. It's also a lot cheaper.

Thanks everybody!!!
70c10.....it depends on where you go. I got these blasted for $7 each
