Glossy Black Wheel Paint

[whitey_E30]

lately ive been thinkin about painting the wheels on my bimmer.
i think black would look good but i want it to look real glossy so it doesnt look like just steel wheels on there. anyone know of a good paint to use on the basketweave wheel??? remember,, the centercap is plastic too so they will have to match each other when painted.

IMO satin black looks much better when it comes to black wheels and on basket weaves I would leave the lip silver and leave the center caps off, here's my moda sport wheels painted satin black by Duplicolor, they're for sale btw

lol...if u are real serious about having a glossy finish, check into powdercoating the wheels. I have an inside advantage, cuz my brother works at a shop where they do that stuff, but they come out REAL nice.

powder coating isn't that much $ my friend owns a shop and i believe it would be arround 150$ for all 4 can. maybe 5$ for me
