I did it a week and a half ago. Black on black.

I didn't put enough coats on so it doesn't look perfect (no one would notice unless they walked up to the car and got close to the wheels).

I'm happy enough with the outcome that I'm going to powder coat them in 2 or so months.

my home computer won't let me view this site with firefox. My touchpad won't let me copy/paste links from photoshop. Anyone have an idea how to post these?

photoshop says I'm copying the image link from the site, but when I come here it won't let me post the link into the image button...
