Hola fellow photogs. I'm not sure if this is the place to share this, but... I am about to put some Rotas on my GSR but I love the "fat fives" as I've heard them called. I am going to refurbish them myself and I wanted to check out some ideas, so I tried this first one with MS Picture It software. I am a newb when it comes to photoshop stuff so please forgive the amateur handiwork. Any comments welcome. Hope this helps someone in some way. Peace to y'all.

 

Yeah photoshop would prevail here because you would be able to select parts of the wheel, leaving out the brakes, and darken them instead of painting a solid black over them. Your work here gives an idea of how it could look (from a distance) but for a more realisitic look I would check out Photoshop.

 

i think all gunmetal would look better
