Default Painting Spidertrax spacers?

Anyone know if I can paint these wheel spacers? Maybe high heat rustoleum? The blue looks aweful behind the wheel...

I'm sure u can paint them with no problems. Definitely get some high heat paint tho and make sure you clean them with rubbing alcohol or something before u paint them. Good luck and take pics. I actually might paint mine too

I guess I should have. I heard only good things about spidertrax so I went that route. Great quality, just not a fan of the blue...

I have painted mine black about 21K miles ago before I installed them. I have had no problems what so ever. I sanded the gloss off of them and hit them with two coats of simi-gloss rustoleum. Even though the paint was fully cured when I installed them, the paint came off of the face of the spacer (where the rim mates to the spacer) the first time I performed a tire rotation.

Had mine powder coated to match the wheels, looks great and you'd never know they're there!

I bought the 1.5" Poison Spyder spacers and love them.

Good luck with the painting
