Cheap chrome wheels

Quote

Post by Wizemanne » Mon May 17, 2021 7:52 pm

On my JRXT I was looking to put on a set of plastic chrome wheels. Does anyone have any recommendation as to which brand and model. I saw some Orion wheels and tire sets on eBay but was wondering if anyone has any recommendation for just wheels?

RPM makes (or maybe just use to make) several styles of chrome 2.2" truck wheels that fit the Jrx-T. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of exact part #'s. Also, HPI used to make some that came with adapters to fit several different makes/models of trucks.

Does anyone have a way to chrome wheels cheaply and easy???

Last post

Welp, since it's been resurrected.
This isnt perfect chrome, but enough to see a reflection with good primer and only $8-9 at home depot. Only downside is that it is pretty delicate, so a 2k urethane clear coat would help on high-touch parts.

Is there any chrome paint that that folks have used to repaint chrome wheels successfully?

Last post

From my research, the best chrome out there is Molotow Liquid Chrome, but it is really only sold as pens (or as a pen refill). For something like wheels, it needs to be airbrushed. It seems to do better on some plastics than others, and I think it...

I laid down a few coats of Tamiya PS-17 Metallic Green,backed it with Tamiya PS-13 Gold,then backed everything with Tamiya PS-1 White.
The green really shimmers in the sun and gives it a nice depth under soft light.

Oh for some...
