Looks great man. I am going to be doing the same exact thing real soon. Was it very hard? And how long did it all take?

It's not hard at all, just time consuming and a little tedious with all the sanding/taping. Should take you about 4-6 hours for all wheels, considering you work fast lol. Take your time though, make sure you sand well.

looks very good but you taped too much around the ford logo.

Looks good, I did a similar thing to the 16" wheels I bought with my drag radials so they would match my black bullitts up front better. I like the silver lip and the all black spokes you did.
