alright what i did was this. i bought a can of paint matched to my color. i also bought a can of BULLDOG ADHESIVE PROMOTOR from the same site, http://www.towerpaint.com ... oh yea i picked up a can of clear coat from a store near me. i sanded the moldings down (carefully) with 400 grit, then 2000 grit to make everything smooth. i applied a couple coats of the adhesive promotor, waited for it to dry inbetween. then i applied a good amount (7-10) coats of paint. after waiting for that to dry, i applied a decent amount of clear coat. the next day i washed my car a waxed the hell out of the moldings... nice and shiny. its been about 4 months and they still look great... hope this helped

i really like the rota c8's man. originally the color was silver but i got tired of the color of the rims so i painted them flat black. the good thing about the rota's is that it looks like the mugen ones but i dont have to worry about denting or scratching the rims that much because it's cheap!
