My dad is about to order some 18X9 Black bullit rims from American Muscle. he is giving me his old 17 inch gun metal grey bullits and i want to paint the spokes black and leave the edge chrome just like the new ones he is getting.
Is there much involved in this or is it just tape, prime, paint and go?
do i have to roughen up the surface or not?

yes, rough it up a little bit...i used 320 i believe and it works great. you may want to also use clear coat, as well.

Not to trash you out but, I got the same rims as your stockers. Man, I hate those rims. You are so lucky to be trading out!!! You should try the silver rims for a while, you might like them!! I'm starting to think that the "black rim" thing might be getting a little old. See if you can get them chromed!!

nah, the stock 6er rims are cool with the inserts painted...i get compliments all the time, but he's talkin about painting the bullitt centers black instead of silver

I dont think my stock rims are all that bad, better than some and at least they arent hub caps!! i hate hubcaps! I want to keep the black and white look going with white body black tint and black rims. and i figure before i put my dads old rims on, lets try painting them and see how they come out.
American muscle said the black bullits wont be in stock till the 20th so i have to wait a while.
