I painted mine, although they are just basketweaves - Clean them really well, sand them (rough up the surface to give the paint something to cling to), then clean them again. If you can eat off of it, then you can paint it. I used plastikote at the local parts store. I think Plastikote is a better paint than Krylon now.

I did mine myself.. took a lot of pictures. might do a guide later on but I'm swamped with work and college right now. I spent a lot of time on mine, some people are probably not as dilligent as me though. :)

You guys should see his wheels in person. He did an amazing job. I wish you guys could have seen how bad they were before he started and what they look like now. The quality of the job Chris did was top-notch.

yeah, they were awful.. one had rash all the way around the whole lip, the other two were extremely pitted and scratched up. but one of them was nearly perfect, if they had all been that way I'd have just stuck them on!

here's before and after shots:




the before shots look better than they actually were, I had already spent 4-5 hours cleaning them!
