    Right beep workin my first rim all morning and finally got a couple of coats of paint on her! Will post a couple of pics in time.
    Now i was wondering, can a spray my wheel bolts too or would they just loose the paint in time?

    I like the matt black look, if they scuff too easily then i may have to add laquer, we'll see!
