Sure ,feel free to pm me if you want for specs...
Basically take the rim(no tire),degrease,surface sand with a 320grit paper,wipe with tack cloth,(dont tape anything off yet)shoot the outer lip with some fresh silver paint,overlap beyond where you want the "lip" line to be(doesnt matter what the paint hits,your gonna paint the entire rim next step anyways..)After its tacked/dried use some fine line tape to create your "lip" however wide you want it..you want to tape off the "lip",so as your next step is spray the entire rim,getting in the lug holes really well and all...couple coats should do..your done
Now you peel the tape off to reveal your fresh silver "lip"...and mix a couple drinks and celebrate the great job you did
24hrs and you should be good to have the tires remounted
Good luck
