Anyone have any pics of painted wheel centers?

I'm looking to paint mine, and I wanna see if it looks good enough to do.

Also, anyone know a easy method to paint them?

Wait I think that I may have one of his pics. I think it looks pretty hot!

Ooohh... I like the blue! I wonder how it would look in red... Is there anyway to take it off if it doesn't look good?

Hey Expo, did you have your factory wheels powder coated or painted? How much was it if you did? Looks sweet

The rims were Powder Coated, $275 for all four. The center caps were the only things painted

straight painted silver.

I know that color on the flying m will come off one day, but no problems so far.

Well I have a titanium grey 8, so I dunno what color would make the car stand out.

I'm also thining about painting the calipers to match. But don't know what color to go with to accent the titanium grey.

maybe black, or red.


any sugestions?
