May want to go with a more nicer route and just have them painted and baked.

I'm 100% sure it can be removed. I used ONLY Duplicolor Wheel Coating. It's $7 a can. You can get black, gun metal, bronze, or clear. I did black and another IS250 owner I know did the same. Another friend of mine did gunmetal and another did bronze. I helped to paint all of theirs.

For the barrel of the wheel, I just left it since it blended in with the nasty dirt inside. But you can just tape it and use newspapers. For the tire, just stick note cards in there.

You want me to take pictures of the different colors I painted?

^^^ sounds good. i think im going to try this over the weekend. just a question of whether to do black or bronze.

any pics of the bronze duplicolor would be great.

Now I used two cans of Plasti-Dip, one of color, and one of clear. I can get pictures of the bronze for you but I need to ask my friend first lol.

You're in luck because the Duplicolor is almost exact to that color. It's a darker bronze.
