jakebrake86 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I usually paint my Daytons with gloss white Rustoleum. It holds up really well. 1 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39507-wheel-painting/#findComment-284864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MHfred Posted April 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2015 I painted mine with a brush and used the flavor of the day from Tractor Supply-Valspar maybe. They look ok from 10 feet and I never had any trouble with the nozzle on my brush.

Mackdaddy2030 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I used tractor paint from Farm & Fleet. I used the spray cans on the rims and suspension. Then used a brush and roller on the rest of the trailer. These are before and after when I did it. It's been two years and still holding up good. I just hand sanded the trailer. Next time I think I will soda blast it. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39507-wheel-painting/#findComment-286175 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhead204 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 the 1.00 a can stuff from walmart works just fine! 20.00 bucks worth will do a set of drive axles of 10 hole budds, i only primed areas that had metal or rusty areas showing and thats been 3 years ago and they still look good! if you wanted you could clear over the paint for extra protection.
