Blue would be a lot of blue which I'm trying to avoid. Chrome gets lost in the wheel reflection. Was thinking orange but, 2 of my friends have had a hell of a time with refinishing the Rotoras. Kinda makes me sad, I would much rather leave them as is based on their troubles.

Yeah it's hard to take them apart, remove the powder, re-powder and re-assemble. Not going to be cheap. But what has been on your project???

haha, yeah not that many things have been cheap or easy. But I'd probably just buy new ones and have them done in whatever color I wanted than risk messin these up.

Trying to call it done already!

Although the "murdered out" look would've been sick, you still did a great job in picking out a classy color that stands out.
