Default Painted my Rebels

The fronts are painted with a transparent grey, from some angles they look really dark and some they still look chrome. What do you think? Rears coming off today to get painted.

The base is mixed with an adheasion promoter that is garunteed to stick to anything so chipping/flaking should not be an issue. The base and clear is mixed with a flex additive that is used on plasic bumper covers to also insure no chipping, the paint will actually dent if hit with a rock instead of chipping. And the painted part is only cleared, not the whole wheel.

Still waiting for him to paint the centercaps black. The color is the same paint code as the spokes of factory bullitt wheels, with an extra 10 grams of black added to make it a little bit darker.

That looks good. I have been scared to paint my wheels. I wanted a color similar to yours. It would be darker than the satin look but not black. post pictures of the car when you complete all the wheels. Good work!!

Could be possible, not sure, but I live up north and work out in KS so I'm usually somewhere in between. The wheels have only been on for two weeks though, and the second week it was these in the back and stockers in the front.
