Its DIY one of the board members did a nice detailed review of process and I bought the GM paint on amazon.
I have the red mist vinyl inserts and going to paint first and see if I like the all carbon look can always put the tapes on top. I was told I need a warmer climate to put the tapes on though it finally hit 50 yesterday but its been below freezing and my wife wont let me put the c8 in the family room to do the job

C8 next to the lounge chair...right in front of the big screen TV.....what is she not understanding here! 
look for ward to seeing your pics...
I looked up Tapeworks....I don't think their system will work on the C8 Carbon Flash painted wheels due to the brushed design on the rim.

I’m sorry for being so dense. Which wheels do you have and what color are you painting? Thx..
Please post pictures. I just bought some high gloss black with gray machined fronts and black lug nuts....think it will look great.
