That's pretty much how I feel about it too. lol

mike55112= For prepping, I took scuff pad and just roughed up all the area's I was going to paint. Clean them off really good once you're done prepping by blowing them off with compressed air and washing them down too. All I did to paint these was get a few cans of gloss black generic spray paint from the local fleetfarm/hardware store and applied three coats of it. Take you're time with the first coat and apply it slowly but make sure it's thick. To mask off the chrome ring I just stuck an old deck of playing cards between the chrome part and where the alloy(?) part of the wheel meet and it works very well and it beats pulling off masking tape.

You can add clear coat if you wish which is probably not a bad idea. I just got lazy/anxious.
