Post pics of painted HX wheels.

Mine are currently white with red H. I'm looking to paint them either gunmetal or black because white gets dirty too fast. Also looking for ideas on any other colors. Thanks

Reminds me of those Mugen MF10's? The ones with the mirror faces. Looks like I'm gonna give it a try.
