3 hours start to finish .. Primer and bedliner dries really fast.,
Sanding and taping is a pain

Been on the fence over this myself, really like the look of the black rims though. Think it would look great on my Detonator Yellow Rubicon. Think this will hafta be my next mod as well.
I'd say go for it, and post some more pics when it's done : )

I do not like black either. Those were the "cheap" wheels like the white wagon wheels when I was growing up. Good thing it is your jeep and dowhatchlike.

Do it! As long as you take your time with the prepping and priming, the finish is bombproof and re-touchable when you hit rocks etc. I did rustoleum hammered black spray can over a black acid etching primer.
