Thank you everyone!! Lets me know that I should get these on quicker lol.

As for the DIY by Teach here: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...20s-black.html

Just a few differences if you have the Chrome clad (no need to paint the backside)
1. I made sure the rims were cleaned before they were sanded
2. I used a fine 320 grit sand paper
3. I sanded the clad until there was no shine or really dull
4. Then I cleaned them with a cleaner (Simple Green)
5. I sprayed about 5-6 layers on my wheel

Just a question I should be fine if I did not use a clear coat correct. Did not want to much shine!! Hopefully I can get these on this weekend and once thank you everyone!

I would use a clear coat for sure. You can get a flat clear coat. The clear will hopefully protect the paint from the road acid/salt/etc

If you used the dupli-color product and did not do the clear right away, you need to wait 7 days before you add any per the back of the can. Just don't want them to ge ruined. I did mine the day beforeyesterday as well!!

They came out looking great man. If I was you I would put clear on them, it is going to give the paint a little extra protection.

I think it said 5 the last time I checked but I will certainly put some flat clear coat this weekend before I mount them. Thanks for the advice....
