Amazing what $250 and a few cans of plasti-dip can do
Lopez, you can pick up cans at stores such as Lowes or Home Depot for anywhere from $5-10 usually.
Extremely easy to apply. Just take the rims off, clean them really well using your favorite cleaner and a rag or sponge, tape off the backs and the sides around the rubber of the tire, then do a few coats. No sanding necessary. When done, just peel away the tape and that's it!

One thing I saw on another plasti-dip thread was the guy used index cards or playing cards tucked right into the crevice between the tire and the rim, so most of the overspray would get caught by that.

Plasti-dip really is too easy - almost magical how it went on and smoothed out my ham-handed spray painting skills. And it just comes right off the places you don't want it on. Save yourself the time and don't bother even taping off the tire - seriously, when you go to take off the overspray from the rubber it will just peel right off leaving your rims looking great. Again - check out some youtube clips of people doing it - it works just like that.
I didn't pop out my center caps either - just cut out a little piece of tape to put over the ford emblem - worked well and looks pro to have the blue ford oval nice and tight in the middle of all that black.
