3G Acura TL OEM powder coating

Hi I need everyone's help. I am trying to photo shop an Acura 3G tl to see how black factory oem rims would look on my car and can't seem to get it TI work. Can someone please help. No one seems to have the 2008 base model rims powder coated

Go to the top of page and do a search. Example: black OEM wheels, painted OEM wheels, etc. Many people have done this. I painted my OEM 06 TL wheels dark gloss grey.

I tried to search for them, couldn't find them in black. I'm talking about the 17 inch 2008 oem rims. No one seems to have powder coated or painted these particular rims. I don't know how to post a pic on here to show u which rims I'm asking about

How did you get the black To stay on the emblem? On the grill. No body shop wants to touch it because they say it will chip

Yes. I am. Is your whole grill matte black? And is there a way to photo shop so I can see how my rims would be in black?

i dont have the 08 rims, but maybe this will help

NOT POWDERCOATED. Theyre spray painted with HWP 104 duplicolor satin black wheel paint and some HWP 103 clear coat as well. I'm only 17 and I did it myself. Not very hard, but very time consuming if done right
