Any recommendations on what brand bed liner to use? Want to take my stock wheels and black them out. That way I can sell the after markets and do some more mods!

A buddy of mine used Plasti Dip in a spray can to paint his stock TJ wheels, they came out real well. Ill see if I can come up with a pic

I also used the plastic dip spray came out amazing!!
The discoloration is from mud. Easy to wash off... But a dirty jeep is a happy jeep!!

I used Rustoleum Bedliner with Rustoleum etching primer first and it is working out great.
A couple notes about it:
1) make sure you thoroughly clean and degrease with thinner or something
2) sand to take off the stock shine (I used a wire brush and then 400 sandpaper)
3) index cards between the tire and wheel worked great for keeping the paint contained
4) 3-4 light coats or primer, two hours wait, then 3-4 light coats of the Bedliner and it was done
The Rustoleum doesn't have big chunks in it but leaves a sandpaper like finish. Here's a pic:

Thanks Matt. I got some good degreaser and some 320 grit paper. Luckily the tires are not on the wheels. I'm running aftermarket wheels right now. Plan on spraying them soon. Got a buddy that is an automotive painter. He's supposed to help me spray them. I not ill tackle it myself. Plan on doing the grill also.

Looks good, but the local place here wants $400. I'd rather save that $$ for my front bumper. It's the rattle cans for me!

Looks good Jeek. Hope mine turn out the same way. Bought 4 cans of Rustoleum. Hope that's enough.

Good. Maybe I'll have enough to do my grill also.

With 2 cans you can do all 5 wheels and grill! Lol I used 1 and 1/4 on my wheels and had enough left over for my steering wheel logo, touch ups, and doorless mirrors

Well, now that I've sprayed them and put them on my Jeep....what do you use? And how well do the bed lined wheels clean up?

LOL, Wish I knew that before last night.. Just went out to Lowes and bought a box of 6. Plan on doing the rims (5) and the grill within the next couple weeks, with left overs for the inside of the hard top next spring after I add the insulation panels I'm making (1" panels of the pink rigid fome insulation and a bunch of fabric (either Comando/Olive Drab like the jeep primary color, or Black) for covers.

Yeah, I did four rims and I used a can and a half.
Will that stuff work on my rollcage? I used some textured junk and it just wore right off of the grab bars, looks like crap now.:banghead:
