I want to paint my wheels bronze or black cause I don't have $$ for new rims and I'm sick of the chrome:( .... I was wondering if any photoshop geniuses out there could help me see what the end result might look like.... thanks you guys.

i'd really discourage you from it...

to get any paint to look right, you'd have to sand / scuff up the chrome, prime them, and then paint. and there's no going back from that without spending an assload to rechrome the wheels.

imo you'd be better off selling those & buying new ones

I don't think I'd get enough to buy a new set. I figured that if I got tired of it that I could just paint them silver. I have a friend that painted his stock wheels while they were still on the car!!:eek: And they actually turned out really nice.....
