Exclamation PS HELP! *Color change on my motorcycle wheels*

Im thinking about painting the wheels on my bike this winter. Ive thought of Gold...both bright and more dull, white, silver, even yellow.

If anybody could take any of these pics and do the wheels in any of those colors Id appreciate it! If you need me to, I can post example pics of wheel colors Id somewhat want...thanks in advance.

Feel free to try any color as well, Im all for suggestions.

Thanks! It gives me an idea. You cant see it in the pic but the adjustment tabs on the levers are gold, and now the banjo bolts on the calipers and master cylinder are gold-thats why Im thinking of gold wheels.

Here are a few more pics that may be better for you PS guys...







Pic of the Gold you could try, my friends bike.

those pics were easier to work with.

had to adjust some of the brightness and contrast levels on the first pic, thats why its a bit grainy.



Gave you two different levels of gold on this one, just so you can see which one you'd like more, a darker or brighter gold finish.

Thanks man. In a weird way I like the darker gold finish. This gives me a much better idea for sure.

Can you do one in silver?

Thanks, the silver looks kinda OEM

Dont want to ask 100X but since you've helped so much and if you're bored, can you do one in white?
