PITA..... Good luck, cause if you do not do an awesome job, it looks worse than if you had left it alone.

DOne right, it looks great!

Just plan on using a lot of time and sandpaper.

Hi Wheels look tons better once polished over the standard black, i had mine done but also had the inner spokes and sprocket carrier painted blue to match the bike.

Lots of work ahead of you. good luck
