Hate gold wheels

[Erikextreme]

Can I paint my gold rims ? What paint to use ? I want to make them Matt black . Gold looks terrible

DO NOT! I believe there are a lot of people who will happily trade their wheels for gold ones. At least I would and I saw a couple of posts about this on here too.

2nd that, just trade them for a set of black.

 

Would maybe trade mine for gold ones.

Paint would be a disaster.  Powdercoat would be an option or maybe see if they can be anodised?  By far the easiest would be to swop for black.

Yup. Swap. Do not destroy gold wheels. I’ll do straight swap if necessary. 
look at all the photos of early teneres.

Happily swap you for my blacks… if you were in the states.

Y'all calm down...even if they do get painted, just ride them in the dirt for a bit, do a trailside tube swap, and they'll be golden again.

 

Do that enough times and they'll be silver.

I might swap them with the black ones on my tenere XT660Z . Hopefully it is the same rims. The extreme should arrive end of next month. Excited !

Where do you live? Open for a swap?

Post says Jersey

presume your buying new from your dealer? Have you asked them if there’s an option to swap them out ?

There is a spray folie in a rattlecan. They say spray it on smooth surface. It should easily be removed by pulling it off. I have no experience with it, but looked for it many years ago to paint old rims.

Yes i tried to change / swap at the dealer but no luck. Living in jersey makes it difficult with shipping and expensive
