getting my Forgestars painted
Getting my Forgestar F14's painted because the finished didn't match on them. Actually it is just slightly off, I didn't even notice until I took some pics of the car and someone pointed it out to me and I was like 
I guess I was just excited to finally get them after a 3+ month wait so that was my fault for not checking. But I also wanted to get them redone because the paint/finish is really thin on these Forgestars, I swear the paint will chip and scratch if a rock just looked at it 
I decided on black but told the shop to call me right before paint so I have time to decide if I wanted a gloss or matte finish. Got the call today and on the 20 minute trip to the shop, I literally saw 8 cars with black wheels. I love the look but figured it was just too common in my area. So I looked at some color options at the shop and decided to paint them neon pink 
That should look on on a silver car right?
J/K, I decided on a Metallic Smoke color. I'm gonna pick them up this weekend. I can't wait

It suck that the original paint chiped away.
Is there a product you can put on the rims soo that won't happen
with your new paint?

Then only thing I can think of is maybe shoot a couple coats of clear on on the wheels before you mount them. TC
