Default to paint or not to paint...
Thinking about painting my Racing Harts.





Thinking about painting it gold, their Racing Hart C35s not subzero's. Need feed back should I or should not. White's too hard to stay clean, but painting it I will lose out on them being Racing Harts. What to do???

They look good white, but if you want to get them painted go for it.

Since they're the real deals, leave them as is, the value will go down if you paint them, besides it wont turn out as perfect as the original coats.

If u want a different color, I say sell the racing harts, then buy some knock-offs. Please don't paint the racing harts!

After all the comments and bitching from my friends, I have made up my mind NOT to paint them. Now I'm thinking of buying a set of Rota Subzero's in bronze/gold of course...Thanks for talking me out of it guys
