I have 2 itp T9 serie in polish look (they brand new) but i want to paint it before to mount my tire. So i'm not sure the paint can hold up after some run.

Can you show me you're and did you powder coat ou spray can!!


thank

Spray paint mine after I sand them down then prime them and after a couple of trail riding, they were scratch so unless you powder coat them, they will scratch up over time.

Paint will peel and chip powedercoat is what you should do should you have the funds. (prior to mounting tires)

 

[Nash04]

Think scuzz meant to say funds. lol!

Thanks Nash!!

i sanded my wheels down, primed them with self etching, and put two coats of hammered on. rode for two days on trails and ended up with a chip the size of a pea. solution: get the can out and touch up. done. polished wheels might need a little more prep work to get the paint to stick better.

I painted mine in the beginning...

After one ride.... (kinda hard to see)

New wheels powdercoated...

all right tanks I DON'T will paint it. Find a shop to powder coated it, or ttry to change my t9 wheel when a i buy my new tire for the t9 black wheel

adding your location to your profile may save you some grief from any grammar police... depending on what that location is, of course.

5W0P3: where were you riding to scuff the paint off that badly?

Texas.

I painted mine and ended up with the same chipping results.

Before I stripped them down because they looked like poop:

 

[mrtheandrew]

what are you guys riding on to get them to that level of poopiness? ive had mine out about 4 times now on some pretty muddy/rough jeep trails and have only had one small chip. is this sand/gravel that does this?

 

[WiZkY]

Hehe i'm from Quebec and not very well in english, so, thank for your comprehension

All trail i riding is rock and some muds!!!

Rocks, sand, mud rocks, stumps.

Have you seen American Beauty with Kevin Spacey?

When he tells his wife that he just bought his high school dream car he does a fist pump and yells "I rule."

Red River Motorcycle Trails... the best trails and most diverse conditions found anywhere in the US. Top notch place for sure, Scuzz can vouch for that.

I'm Texan!

FWIW, the paint comes off when mud sticks to the wheels and dries. That and the carwash / power washer will do it too. Specially with mud on.
