This was my first time actually spray painting anything. It's really easy all you need is about 30 bucks, a well ventilated area, and a little patience. Here's the site I used: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/scion-tc-2g-wheel-tire-1830/diy-how-paint-your-stock-wheels-gloss-black-220471/?styleid=14

Looks nice. Rattle can paint jobs are generally frowned upon in the car scene (lol), but if it's done right it can look good.

I think I'll use my girls black fingernail polish to touch up around the emblem.

OP, instead of nail polish, spray some of the paint into a container and use a fine brush for touch up work. It will look much better IMO

Thanks for the heads up, but it really doesn't phase me anyway.

Spray paint can be fine, but it looks like you used some krylon or something. If you want it to look good, you'll have to pony up a bit more for cans that have better spray nozzles (as well as high quality paint). Shimrins House of Kolors is fantastic for spray painting small stuff like this. They have all the primers, base coats, colors and clears too. Unfortunately, I don't think they make it anymore, so the people who still have some charge an arm and a leg.
