I think I am going to paint my stock rims tomorrow.. Can't decide if I wanna do gun metal or just black.. (My car is black). But I definitely want some pink lug nuts... I just don't want the black on black to look shitty.. So I definitely need to make up my mind. Also, I saw some people used engine enamel to paint their rims, is that better than using the dupont wheel paint? My boyfriend has painted his stock rims before and they turned out nice so I am going to have him help me out.. i'll post pictures when I'm finished

Wheels were painted with duplicolor wheel paint and clear coat. Traded the wheels a couple months ago.
