PlastiDip is your friend. Cheap, easy, removable. I just did my second set of racing wheels in gold just to see what they look like.

Once you like a color and want it to be permanent, I had my wheels professionally painted and finished. I chose paint over powder coating due to the high temperatures required for powder coating (didn't want to heat cycle the wheels).

I had to order the PlastiDip because couldn't find in stock the color I wanted.

I found in Amazon 4 cans of Vintage Gold for less than $30 with free shipping, but when I saw the estimated delivery date of 04/06 I cancel the order and went to another site that advertised "in stock for immediate shipment" and I paid $50 (including $12 shipping).

They indeed ship it next day, but to my surprise it comes from FL and according to UPS it will arrive by 04/08...

Lesson learned.. :-(
