Default Black Fat Bob Wheels

Had this crazy idea of painting or powder coating black the center of wifes FXDF wheels. Looks good on the Fat Boy Lo.

Has anyone out there already done it? If so pictures please.

i think alot of people are powdercoating their aluminum wheels black... I too own a fat bob and thinking of doing it. These wheels are very difficult to clean then not powdercoated or cleared. I think some guys will spray a clearcoat over the stock wheel to help. Gonna try to schedule mine when its time for a new back tire so its only off once. hope this helps....

I recall seeing a Fat Bob on this forum where the owner painted or powerd the center section of the wheels. Looked OK but was really hard to see with dual disks etc..

I've been thinking getting my wheels powdered as well. I think black in the center would look good. I remember seeing a post a while back where another Fat Bob owner posted some pics of his wheels that he painted himself. They looked good.

I had mine done last winter, they turned out great but kind of bored with it and bought some PM wheels. Below is a link to pics I had posted.

Has anyone tried painting their wheels? Duplicolor has a product out that I'm very interested on trying on my fxdf and truck. Satin black would be mean looking. If you have painted instead of powdercoat, I would love to hear about it and what you think about it. Thanks. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/wheelCoating/
