Default How are you painting your wheels after narrowing them?

I am in the process of narrowing my TXT wheels and I haven't decided on the best way to paint that outer rim yet.

Do you recommend masking and spraying it, or just using a brush?

What kind of paint? Acrylic?

Thanks!

On my front wheels I just left the rim white, gives it an offset color to the black.

You could probably get away with a small paint brush and cheap paint. Just remember that the rocks will soon start to chew at those rims, even if they're narrowed. Mine have some healthy scraps and nicks in them even being narrowed on both sides. You can always re-apply new paint once it get's pealed off.

Yeahoo, paint pens sound like my kinda thing! I'm guessing it makes for easy touch-ups too.

Thanks for the suggestions,
jeff
