i bought the same stuff. I started off with my valve covers, which i think i used too much black on, because they look straight black, LOL. I haven't built up the courage to do my wheels yet.
Nice work though.

If those are clear with a tint added, you should be able to buff on them some to bring out a little more depth...then clear and buff again. Might help some with that greenish tint (although I think it looks kinda cool...shhh).

I'm kinda iffy on weather I like them or not but I think its great that you had the ***** to do what I've been scared to do lol. How would this same process work with aluminum wheels?

I didnt really have any reservations when doing this. I always loathed the chrome rims on my car since its the only thing chrome besides the exhaust which is barely visible. I just shrugged my shoulders and said **** it.
