can my chrome f150 rims be painted black chrome?

[t-maxxracer32]

ive wanted to buy an airbrush for a while and maybe this will be a good time to. will an airbrush work? or is there an adaptor that i would be able to buy for a bigger project like this?

i know typical airbrush guns that are used for RC are small and have a thin line of paint but i would think that theres a tip so that it sprays a fat line of paint.

im sure most of the body shops around here would charge a couple hundred bucks to do this job so i figure if i spend a couple hundred on a decent airbrush setup it will be better. i love DIY projects and this would be something fun i think.

lemme know of an airbrush that would be good for this job AND allow me to airbrush small things (right now i am customizing xboix 360 controllers so an custom airbrush paintjob would be an awsome addition to all the mods i do)

thanks jameS!

You really need a decnt spray gun, some sort of gravity feed item. I would buy a 50 dollar or so unit from harbor freight. Get one with a 1.4 tip, it will spray most paints well. I guess you have a compressor...

And airbrush will not work for something this size, only for detail work. Auto paint is reasonably thick and would not flow thru a needle that small. Imagine painting the titanic with a std house roller....
