Let's see your painted/powder coated Sasquatch wheels and beauty rings

That looks awesome. What was the process to paint the ring gray?

That looks awesome. What was the process (paint or powder coat?); where did you get it done?; what was the cost?

Thanks guys.
I removed the beauty rings and then thoroughly cleaned them with Dawn dishwashing liquid & water with a firm scrub brush (this was needed to remove the ceramic coating that was applied day 2 when I received my Bronco). I then used steel wool to scuff them up and get the factory clear coat removed a bit. Next up was another quick wash to remove any residue and then I used denatured alcohol on a microfiber cloth as the final cleaning step.

I ordered 2 aerosol cans each of Carbonized Grey paint & clear coat for PaintScratch.com and applied 3 coats each. Let them dry overnight and reinstalled the following day.

The key to a good paint job is the prep so be sure to be thorough and make sure to really get the clear coat finish off the rings before painting.

Just got my SAS Wildtrak rings color matched to Area 51. Love it.

I love the look too. I live in the Bay Area and planned on doing that for my cyber orange Badlands. Where did you get it done? Process? Cost? Really looks great!

$500 at Carroceria Collision in Novato

dropped off the bronco and they had it for 2 days. They can just take off the rings , but prefer to keep the vehicle to ensure color match

post pics if you get it done!

I love the idea of body colored bead lock rings. I came here to see if anyone found an Antimatter blue set anywhere.

 

[DreamFolise]

Yeah. That's a big win for the price.

I've got access to a commercial tire mounting machine and wheel balancer, so I'm leaning on doing the whole rim - just need to figure out the right colors.

I did another rendering with a lighter bronze and silver rings when I had a VB on order.

Can you do a rendering with black rings?

Hello B6G!

New here. First post. Looking to see who's painted or powder coated their original Sasquatch rims and/or beauty rings.

I'm at 500+ days waiting on a Carbonized Gray 2dr Basesquatch. Thinking of going with a dark bronze wheel and a darker silver/gray on the beauty rings.

Like this.

Compared to the original. (thanks to the B6G member I borrowed this from)

Considering painting vs. powder coating. Also thinking about plastidip as a reversible temp solution.

Thoughts? Ideas? Haven't been scheduled yet, so I've got plenty of time before I'm looking at it in my driveway.

Rings Hyper dipped in stealth grey Took the rings off thoroughly cleaned with alcohol then fog painted about twelve coats. I was thinking of powder coating as well until it occurred to me if I scratched the rings while off off roading I can easily repair.

Well done! This is the first I have seen the body-matching SAS beauty rings on Carbonized Gray. Very subtle' and looks way better than "warm alloy"/silver. Will definitely do the rings first... and then maybe consider the bronze later. Seeing a lot of bronze on here... and its appeal has kind of faded. Would like to see it for real on the SAS center portion before I take the plunge at the powder coater. The hyper dip option might be a good idea.

Do you know how easily it "releases" (if you change your mind)... vs how well it wears over time (if you want it to stay)... vs how easily it touches up when damaged?

On another note... if I don't get a Bronco before 2024, I might be going magenta or lavender by then.

I can. Just got back from a business trip. I'll hit you up when I post it.

 

[Kjbeggs]

sprayed my rings yesterday with a few coats of Plasti-Dip Luxury Metal.
Pretty pleased with the way they turned out
(other than the fact I put the valve notch in the wrong place on the spare)

Well I have used Hyper dip in the past and had it on rims for my daughters car for over three years and they still look perfect
as far as removal I have never removed it but I do know they sell this product to help with removal
https://www.dipyourcar.com/collecti...products/dip-dissolver?variant=31141798150227

again I went this route thinking that if the rings get scratched which is what they are designed for, it would be so easy to fix and I wouldn't lose my mind scratching powder coating

the stealth grey is amazingly close color match

I was thinking of flirting with this color as the center since its not as bronzy and darker than the actual bronze color you see everyone rockin now

That is exactly the color I was looking for. I do my renderings in PowerPoint, so the ways I can manipulate the colors are pretty limited.

I bet that Brass Monkey would look just sick on Carbonized Gray.

I took this pic on a Tacoma when I was in Alaska last year because I liked the dark bronze. (It looks darker when not in full sunlight.)

This is the closest I have seen on Carbonized Gray... would love to see it with body color rings.

Did you get the paint code/ brand of powder coat by chance?

Loving it. Wish I could see those SAS wheels in bronze for real.

Sorry I didn’t get the paint brand
I vaguely remember the color code as KU, but that should be all over this forum.

good luck
