if you’re just trying to see the color, then u can just paint over the old ones to see how you like it but for final product i would sand them down real good, spray them with an air hose and wipe any grime off them, then hit them with a few coats of primer, the color of paint you want and then clear i think it will look really good black on black edit: if you have a hook up you can probably get them powdercoated for probably 50bucks more than rattlecanning them ---

Car is just about done. For whatever reason I still am not getting brakes. ☹ Then I had it out with my neighbor about how noisy I am I guess. So I quit for the day. Different wheels are on because I wanted to test fit the black wheels before I decide what to do color wise. They are hitting the fender when I turn ☹ I think on a smaller tire it will work though. For now I will rock the chrome ones for a few weeks. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0532.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0532.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0533.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0533.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0535.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0535.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0537.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0537.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0539.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0539.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0540.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0540.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0542.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0542.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0545.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0545.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0547.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0547.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0549.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0549.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0551.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0551.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0552.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0552.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0553.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_0553.jpg) ---

Yeah im not sure but the other ones are lighter and wider so that is what will end up on the car. I picked up a charcoal, satin black, and a goldish color paint. I am going to spray each on one and see what I think. Then I am probably going to have them powdercoated the same finish. ---
