Default Rim Painting-Anyone Can help me out?

Well, i like the stock rims but i think it's time they go all black. So basically, i need some help cause i have never done it before nor do i know where to start. So anyone can help me out with this would be GREAT. I plan on doin it sometime in Late February or March unless you guys recommend a different time with weather etc. So any help would be great with this project.


Another question, will all black look good on the stocks?
I'm thinking about this look.


Cheers,
Ryfly

Ry I can get the rims painted for roughly $100 buck each.. That about the going price for a descent job. All black might be a little too much on your blue though. Maybe photochop it first to see what you think.

Heya Chip!

My idea was the spokes being black and edge of the rim all silver. I was mainly thinking about learning to do it myself and if i could find the help of one of ScniergyCO memebers. I basically can't afford 400 dollars right now. The company i work for had to cut me out of alot hours since they the company is goin under. If you are at Mc's this weekend, we can talk about it more. Exchange ideas etc and how to do this. Let me know

Cheers,
Ryfly

Totally!!! I agree with than. Thats what i'll do. Basically, i found the DIY, looks like a simple interesting process and in one of the main steps it says, Find a Buddy. I'll just say it, i would like a buddy/SciergyCO member to help me out when i do this. That be awesome!
