Hi Russ,

Do you think that would work on the standard GL steel rims? I assume they have some form of coating to prevent rust...

Love the cheap but effective options!

Now all I need is a freaking Patrol!

If they are the usual Patrol steel wheels as issued by Nissan on new/old patrols (Silver in colour), then yes, it should work just fine. Follow the steps as posted earlier in this discussion and you will be on your way to perfect black rims.

Ps: I personally have grown to like the black rims with a silver outer ring, so if you so desire, mask off the outer most ring of the rim for a detailed finnish. I wish i had done this. (It doesn;t mean anything, its just a look).

Good Luck.

Ok, forget the jeep, i'm talking about something like this, but using the usual steel wheels.

Ps: GMan hates steel wheels anyway so his opinion here is not worth much guys.... :banplz:
