06 Factory 16 inch LT Wheels Black?
 
Has anyone painted their factory 06 16 inch wheels black. I was wondering how it would look.

Anyone with photoshop wanna give it a try?

Thanks

How do these look? Can't get much of a shine with my program, can't wait to get Photoshop, so much better then these free programs...

Now, if someone could only photochop those ON his car? lol.... sorry, past my editing skills unfortunately.

Nix, it wouldnt' be simple. If you wanted gloss a rattle can isn't going to do it. Flat black rattle would be ok, but would scrath/chip easily and need to be repainted oftenly. It would look cool, specially on a black car with the silver lip (me like very much!) but I would suggest if you want something that will last, and keep looking good with minimal touch-ups i'd have it done by a shop that could get it to adhere properly, and go over it with some protective clear.

Yeah, on the car tends to be a bit more of a pain as most pictures are at an angle and I only have these free imaging programs to work with...

Actually, I'm bored as hell right now, it's not even midnight and I don't have any project to work on so I tried this out. Would have turned out better had the original been higher quality, but then again the file size would have been quite large...
