Hey,
I am thinking about painting my bike and wanted to get your input on the best approach when it comes to adding color to my rims. I am looking at the Lamborghini Orange as the primary color for the bike but wanted to paint my wheels. so this brings up 2 questions.
1) I know powdercoating the wheels is the best method but do you think they will be able to match the Lamborghini color pretty closely or
2) Should I just paint the rim and have the tire installer be very careful when putting it back on the bike?
I personally would like to get them painted because the last thing I want to have happen is when I get the wheels back they don't match the bike. What are your thoughts? If I paint them then we can just add a little more paint in the mix and hopefully save money. Last thing I want to do is see the wheel chipping, or scratching as time goes on.
Thanks for your input.
Oh and if anyone has a pic of a 2005 ZX-6R in that color please let me know.
Also, If anyone is good with Photoshop, I would love to see my bike ahead of time in that color I want. Please let me know and I will donate a photo for you to brush up on your technique with.
