Going to do mine black would love to see some pics.
Torch red with black rims would be the best

They look fantastic... even better is to powdercoat them black and then do a thin red pinstripe around the lip.

Gloss black lacquer, with a clear coat that we flattened for that look.

We got the paint at advanced auto. It is duplicolor auto paint in the Qt cans. It was put on with a paint gun. Actual spraying time a day. let them sit for a week just to harden longer before we mounted tires.

Powdercoating is great. For me however, I have a painter in the family.
