Need photoshop help
Hey photoshop guys i'm considering ainting my wheels and I don't want to do something i'll regret. If you could help meget an idea of what it would look like i'd really appreciate it. I have a few ideas 1. colormatched face of the rim leaving the lip chrome 2. black face leaving the lip chrome 3. colormatched lip leaving the face chrome(not my favorite but a suggestion i got te paintshop). I dont have a good side shot of the car but i do have a couple pics.
Thanks in advance for any hep

It's hard to get paint to stick to chrome, so preping that surface, without touching the other surface of the wheel is reeeeeally tough.
But the body matched lip i think lookes awesome. 2nd place goes to the center 5 spoke face color matched, and the lip chrome.

The one thing that i do know is that most professional paint guys hate having to paint parts of wheels. Especially Chrome....
