Default Home Painted Wheels?

Well, this sounds pretty stupid but... I paid $300 to have some NSX wheels powder coated just recently. I didn't plan on it (they weren't in great shape when I picked them up) and rushed into a plain color... silver.
Now I wish I went with almost any other color. Black, Gunmetal, Mag Blue, White, etc.

But I definitely don't feel like paying to unmount/remount tires and redo the wheels.

If I paint them myself, it would be black (easiest to hide any blemishes).

Just wondering who has done this? LETS SEE PICS!

Did you remove the tires?

How did it turn out?

What did you do for prep?

Worth it? Do it again?

I am not sure if I would actually do it myself, perhaps a friend that is more experienced with the rattle-can.

Wow, this sounds pretty ghetto but oh well...

Cheers.

Open the link above? 5 pics of thread.

Promising to me.
I inquired to Maaco, my friend who owns a shop... I doubt I'll do this myself but I think I'll get them painted black! Woot.
