Painted ZX6R Rims

So I took the advice of lilws6 and decided to attempt painting the ninja rims myself. I must say that with the amount of labor that went into these, it was well worth it. I spent about 60 bucks on good materials and it took a few days all together. If all goes as planned the bike should be back on the road this week. I pick the rims back up tomorrow from getting the bearings thrown in them along with mounting and balancing. Here are some pics of the process:
