Well I finally got rid of the gold. What do think of the duplicolor graphite wheel paint on the factory rims? If I got these links right :?:

Looks nice. :thumbsup: What other colors of wheel paint are there?

They have factory silver and black. If you go with the graphite make sure you have a little bit of airflow going. The paint is very dusty and will leave a rough surface if you don't. Not sure if the other 2 are the same way. The graphite has a little metal flake in it.

I like the color :thumbsup: but it appears the paint is a little flat?? Did you clear them as well?? That would bring a bit of shine up on them as well as protect the new finish!!

Looks good, but I'm hoping the same as bigotter, that there's a couple layers of clear on there.

No clear just some paint. The wheels are only until I paint the car Midnight blue. They are bent battered and curb rashed. Almost not worth the can of paint I shot them with. I just needed the gold gone yuk!

Nice job, but I also agree that it needs some clear coat. When you take the wheels off again to do so, paint the back drums black and paint the calibers red or black.
Great choice in car and top color! :wink:

I think the graphite looks great, and will with midnight blue. I also agree some clearcoat would add to the wheels! Great job.....
