I used a sharpie on the beadlock ring, holes, and center caps. If it rubs off, so be it.

Just Sharpied the holes on mine.. huge improvement. I gotta wait till I pick a body color to do the beadlocks, since i want to put some color on them. My beadlock rings are scuffed up enough that paint should hold at least. haha |

You using spraypaint to paint these wheels? Looks like it would be hard to tape off the beadlock ring like that.

So I happen to have a lid for a glass jar laying around, place it on the wheels and it was a perfect fit. So basically you would just paint the wheels to your desire color and use a jar lid or something with the same fit and paint your bead lock rings.   | |

You can also use the lid from the rattle can to cover the circle. There is a bit of overspray though. Since it's not a perfect fit.  |

I taped off the bead lock rings and painted the wheels Semi-gloss black and left the rings chrome.May go back and change this later.Mine is a 1:18 and it took a few minutes to tape them off,but looks alot better than the solid chrome.I may go back and paint the whole thing black and paint the bolt heads silver.
