So are there certain paints that work better than others, because I'm so doing this this week since we've had some awesome hot weather for drying fast

Yeah after scanning through this thread I have seen way too many black rims, and I think graphite/charcoal or something along those lines is what I'm going to do, I'll post up as soon as they are done hopefully I'll do my springs the same day, time to go to kragen and rent a spring compressor

Good Day Everyone:

I am really sorry for the late reply but some people PM and wrote here wishing to know what color did I used to paint my rims.

Here it is:

TOYOTA BRONZE/AMBER CODE 4TO
I wanted the rims to sparkle a bit more so we modify the formula to include a heavier bigger flake.

Code was:
DMD 649 Clear
DMD650 Large Aluminum Flakes (actual flakes was 1607 Medium Flakes)
DMD1683 Black
DMD 1610 Orange
PRLX3 Crystal Gold Pearl
PRLX7 Copper
DX995 Matt Base
DMD646 Weak White
DBX1689 Clear

If anyone needs the actual mesurements of each color let me know.

here some pics: sorry for any large pics.
