I painted a set of 93 gsx wheels .. Mine arent gunmetal .. the are "Black Knight Metallic" .. its a black paint with a silver flake in it and it looks extremely sweet. I use rustolium primer .. and the paint is a krylon paint i believe .. as well as a krylon clear. It seems to have been the best combo for spray paint ive found yet. 2 layers of primer .. 4 of paint .. 3 clear ..



Ill try and post pictures later of it if i can remember.

i used duplicolor for mine and followed the directions on their website.

i didn't use any primer on mine, but did spend about 12 hours total cleaning and prepping them.
