thanks guys, got two coats of clear on now. i will watch out not to scratch them. i love the gunmetal, thats my theme. i painted my wiper arms, cold air intake and strut tower bar all with the same rim paint. and inside i used it on the center of my dash, and i just got a shift know that came in gunmetal and blck so it goes good with the interior. just got carbon petals to so i think its pretty clean theme. cant wait to get some tires for them though. new pics in the am.

I used the same kind/brand paint for my rims to repair them. Nice work.
