Thinking about painting my wheels black on the mazda. My brake pads create a ton of brake dust so the day after I wash my car the wheels are dirty again. They also have road rash from where someone hit a curb or two.
What do you guys think?

clean the wheels with a degreaser and put wax on them, polish off by hand. The wax will not let the brake dust stick to it. Much easier than masking and scuffing and painting them.....

Not... new paint will not hide ****, it will amplify defects unless its a flat color which would not look good on a mazda.
"Plus i think black may look good. I cant find any stock mazdas with black stock wheels though to see."
Thats a major hint..... a gunmetal gray would look alot better than black

"but two of the wheels are beat up from someone hitting stuff. Black paint would hide that some" Not... new paint will not hide ****, it will amplify defects unless its a flat color which would not look good on a mazda. "Plus i think black may look good.

Then its very plausible.

anybody interested in building one with me? I can do without all the bugout goodies but like the solar chargers, water connections and all. Would be a badass camping rig

I've found a couple solutions but wanted to check in with you heebs. Has anyone without AC found a way to deal with the horrendous fog that builds up inside when it rains?
