Default Succumbed to my inner-teenager..

...and painted my rims black. Was off today, so last night i pulled the wheels off. Took them to a friends house and broke them down on his tire machine. Back to my house for sandblast, then sprayed on 3 coats of flat black. I think they look alright. With everything else black, figured i might as well do the wheels.

Bike looks good... noticed you painted your foot rest brackets too.

Lowcard, what's that teal colored sticker below your license plate?

Looks really nice.

Have you ever considered refinishing the matte fairings in gloss black to match the rest of the bike? I think it would look sweet.

I've been wanting to paint my bike but I don't have the expertise or the equipment to do it.

Thank you. I do not think that those would look good glossy unless they were a smooth fiberglass instead of rough plastic. It would be interesting to see though.

I love my 2012 Black CBR250R with Silver wheels, thanks.
Yours is Boy Racer Sexy though. You did a good job. But, will the flat black
hold dirt and be hard to wash?
Now you need to buy a REPSOL CBR250R for contrast!
Cheers

Negative. I dont dig decals from companies who in fact dont sponsor me. I dont buy into the race livery bikes. I have plenty in the garage to contrast from lol.
