THe lip will be ok to do, it might loook good!

But dont do that to the center cap! Just paint it black or something

Doesn't look too bad. I'd be interested to see how it would turn out.

I could be wrong though, Just thought I would give you a heads up before u do it

BTW here is how mine turned out ( I painted them )


There not OEM or blue but you get the idea

I wouldnt do body color, but thats me. Graphite or Bronze would look pretty good on a ABP

do you know how much it will cost to paint your rims? (diy, but buying parts)

and does the paint stick really well to the rim? anyone know?
