Painting Savage rims

Hi, I'm wondering if I can paint my Savage rims. I have stock rims and just want to paint the spokes and leave the outer rim chrome. What kind of paint would I use, same paint for bodies? Please let me know! Thanks!

i probaly use kyrlon fusion paint,its made for plastics ,the rims are palstic right?????i would tape offf the chrome areas with 3m painters taper,it wont stick to the rim when u remove it.makes sure the tape isnt old or it will give ya a hard time when u peel it up .good luck!

you also might be able to use enamel like the use on regualer models,but dont use it on the body,enamels arent for lexan bodies.
