I think it would make you mad that after a while the paint will chip and your gonna hate that. I painted my wells and the paint flaked and I had to get some more, luckly got some for free but any way don't paint your wells you'll probably hate it

Oh forgot to tell you use shoe cleaner for that sor of thing. Just spray it up in your well and keep it off the paint and it helps, you have to wipe it best you can and leave the rest but it works

Yup, if you have air, those wheel wells gotta go, so dont even bother painting em, it'd be a waste.
