I finally got my lower front Spoiler and got it painted!!! I also got an EXELLENT deal on some 200SX rims that I couldnt resist. So I cleaned them up and I painted them exactly how I wanted them. FLAT BLACK !!! I didnt want just ANY old flat black though. I wanted the flatest black I could find. None of that glossy stuff for my baby. The rims came out perfect, seriously!. It took me about 3 hours to clean them up and paint them. Heres the results of both.

Yeah I did. But it doesnt matter. Im going to have to paint them again anyway after I get the new tires mounted cause somehow I know they will get scuffed up when they mount them and it will agrivate me to the point that I have to put a new coat on...no worrys. Im picky as hell about my car so it will be done right after those weights get taken off. Plus there will only be 3 little spots to take care of.
Serb- I was tempted to buy a Brand new OEM lip. But I never really pursued it because it was going to be my last resort. I got the lip from a forum member for free and paid my paint guy $50(Dont let the price fool you. Its not a maaco paint job. Its official) to paint it up and repair any imperfections.

When you get new tires put on, have them put the wheel weights on the inside of the rim, so the outside is clean, and no weights show. BTW, the lip came out nice, Maaco or not, for $50 you can't beat it.
did you had a hell of a time cover up the tires with tape in order for the paint not splatter all over the tires? This might sound dumb, but Im lazy as hell and just want to know does it took tons of tape and newspapers to cover up the tires?

Tire Gel is your Friend!! I put a coat of Tire Gel on and painted right over the tires. Check out Serbans right up on how to paint wheels.
Thanks guys for the compliments. Now i just need some Tint (%20 or whatever the hell percent serb has on his ), that dent removed from my passenger side Rear panel, and I need to paint my calipers and Im finished with the outside...
