Black on black

[loschiavof]

Hi Guys,
I have black 2009 d22 STR. I have seen a few "blacked out" navaras getting around and they look awesome. I havent seen any up close. I want to black mine out and not too sure where to start. Has anybody got any pics or suggestions? Wheels is an obvious place to start so what kind?

contact your local tyre shop and ask for black steel rims. should be around 90-125 each

There,s a black sports bar on a d40 on here looks good its somewhere to start

There was also a thread a while back where a user either did paint his rim black or he was going through the process, no idea who it was though.

i would start with the wheels, i got a set of 4, new for $75 each

lljacko im pretty sure his isnt missing bits . i cant talk im missing a flare aswell LOL.

blakc on black. start anywhere. paint your rims or purchase new steels for around $100. spray the rollbar black, spray the chrome rear bar black, bulllbar? get a black one(steel). just hit it with a spray can really.

i still think white is the best colour white with black rims mmmmmmmm.

goodluck

Nice... where/what are the tub rails off?

I noticed in some of your pics the front bar is either black or silver. Did you powder coat the bars that come with the d22?

Curious... whats it cost to powder coat?

Im going to be going a black on black theme. To date all i have done is the dark tint and black roll bar. Next is the black painted sahara bar with the chrome arch being painted black as well.

After that is the rims.

powdercoat rear sports bar was about $120 in Townsville

Had factory alloy bar - swapped to factory black steel bar

the tub rails were off ford ranger / bravo. had to cut them about 8cm shorter, but they get used heaps. one of the better little mods I've added.

checker plate rear was $8 from recycler (think mine was off old cruiser side step) and painted black
