i thought about this, but i figured that i had the bearings nice and covered with tape and it probably wouldnt affect performance if a little paint got on the wheel.
yea, im really excited to see what she looks like when put back together also :D

Waiiiiit, why didn't you just take off the wheels, it takes all of 5 seconds...

i painted up a scimitar in cotton candy colors. it looked ssooo sick when i first did it, then i proceeded to skate it for about a year through grass, rocks, gravel, rain, mud, and just generally shitty pavement and unwise surfaces and now it looks like shit.

i know im going to get hate for not taking off the wheels, but i did a good job covering them and i just took it for a test ride and everything works fine.
