Default Repainting spokes, will it be a diff shade?

I need to repaint/refinish the inner spokes on my wheels. Will it turn out a different shade and be noticeable than the rest? They are Championship White.

it will look brighter white then the rest of the wheel. Personally i would just re-do the entire wheels so it will all look the same.

Why would you try to just do the inner parts of the spokes? It will be very obviously a different color and you'll have tape lines that will just end up peeling. Do the repair work to your wheels, then scuff and paint the entire wheel with fresh Champ White base and clear. If you're considering refinishing one section of the wheel, you obviously don't mind a bit of down time. Do all of your wheels at the same time so you have a set of consistently fresh painted wheels.
