I hate threads like this, unless you have a question you should just wait until you've got pics or something to show....

There is a how-to on how to paint your rims. Use the same process as that just different style rims really.

It wasn't much at all...maybe like $25. I think it took a few cans of paint, painting tape, and sand paper. All I did was sand the part I painted then taped it off and painted.
