I've read the Fuch 2.0L Alloys didn't come with the inserts painted black. Is it difficult to paint them black yourself?
I guess it's a question of painting over chrome (blasting the chrome off and priming). Does painting the inserts black affect the value? What seems to be more in demand? |

I recently bought a set that was painted, and I wanted to get back to original. It only took part of a day to strip the paint off using aircraft stripper available at most auto parts stores. So as mentioned above, paint them to your satisfaction, and if you change your mind, strip the paint off and move on.
There was thread on this sometime back that talked about how to paint wheels, and included a link to a Dupli-Color video on how to prep, paint, etc. It was a few years ago; but may be helpful if you can find it. |
