Bill:
I bought a high quality rattle can from an autobody supply store for about
$8. Color was called "Argent Silver." I top coated with Eastwood's clear
coat (may have been called Nyalac, but I think they changed the name).
Looks good. Did 8 wheels with 1 can.

Subject: Painting rims or death to the skidmores
I was finishing up painting some rostyle rims today and I decide to
apply a
coat of Krylon "Crystal Clear Acrylic Gloss" on top of the Krylon
Aluminum.
It turned a shinny sliver into a battleship grey or brushed aluminum.
Not
quite what I planned. I can't wait to try this stuff on the nice shinny
black and see what happens. Or maybe I will try a can of the Rustolem
shinny
clear. I will not blast off what every I wind up with.
What have you folks used and what do you like or dislike?
