    change color of stock wheels

    I've seen a lot of people rolling on stocks that are black...And I want to do the same. I talk to this one guy whose wheels were painted over black. He said that he did it with basically a spray paint from a car store. I don't want to this, because I'm scared I'll screw up my wheels and I don't know what they will turn out like, because i saw the guys in the dark, so what is the other methods of doing this.

    yeah, that's kinda what I did^^^ except for the heat gun stuff and since I went flat black, I didn't sand and buff... they look pretty good for cheap paint you buy at pep boys and some H decals at a sign shop and the big a$$ fender gap!
    somebody sell me your springs before I take another picture of my car!:D
