Hi all,

I've got bright yellow deep rims which i liked at the time but now really don't like...

im toying with the idea of painting them, ideally just a plain black - any advice/experience of this?

Black? Don’t be fucking ridiculous. One fluoro pink and the other one green and opposite colour tyres or gtfo.

Halfords satin black covers quite well though.

I found some black plastic spray for £2, quick sand, spin and spray, job done in minutes easy

YES!!!!!

Alternatively, have them powder coated. I did that to a set of Open Pros and they turned out very nice. Minus the hours spent on masking all 72 holes and cleaning the tape residue afterwards.

Like Plastidip?

Where was it?

Halfords do something similar for alloy wheels. Paint on and peel off when bored.

No it is actually for plastic furniture, not sure it will peel off, good though no primer just whacked on

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
