    Painting my rims

    Doing touch ups on my rims and I wanted to know what to use? I saw VHT had heat paint that I could use, but I rather do it right the first time.

    Any help? Thx

        Stay with the way they are now. I think a darker color would blend too much with the blue.

            I agree. Now you don't have to worry about it at all. ;)

              You're touching up your wheels with darker paint? Or are you repainting them completely....

                Plasti-dip. If you dont like the color then peel it off.

                    You're going to ruin brand new wheels with spray paint?

                        Put the paint can down! The only thing I recommend that you shoot is more pix of lambos!

                          "Doing it right" and "spray paint" do not belong in the same sentence.

                          If you want to change the color of your wheels a quality catalyzed automotive paint should be used along with detailed prep work.
