That's not a bad idea. I did that to my VFR750 a few years ago. The rims were white so showed every bit of dirt and chain spooge. A tin of paintstripper, roll of masking tape, some metal polish, and a bucket of elbowgrease, and the bike was transformed. Despite the naysayers ("Neeeeiighhhhhh!!!), the wheels were much easier to keep clean. I'm very tempted to do the same with the 800; it has silver painted wheels, but polished wheels would be better. Either that or I'll pay some bloke to paint them gold. (As a matter of fact, I *do* have more money than sense).

Dunno really....
Youtube "Plasti Dip Rims", this stuff looks highly addictive, and surprisingly lots of people are using it with success.

It is also available in different colors, you might just have to order some in...
Nah plastidip is cool for about 2 weekends. If you have it on something like wheels especially, it turns to shit fast. The bring orange/green/whatever you have it painted turns to a shit darkened colour eventually as it catches all the dirt and you can't scrub it or anything.
Good point. Getting chain scum off rims would suck...
