I like how it looks now.

I honestly don't really like your wheels though...too basic...need something to set it off.

ooh how about a black chrome, still dark and not flashy but it will have both of the colors your looking for.
the first is basic Black CHrome

this one is more of the flashy look in the back you can see how good it looks when the light isn't on it all the way

ahhh but you like it. yeah I didn't know you were using spray paint. what about chrome paint, with a smoke clear coat. theoretically it sounds good maybe you can try it.

the only reason i am doing spray paint over powder coating right now is cause i dont want to buy new tires. the tires i have on now are brand new, and if i was going to take them off they would be replaced with azenis. if the rattle can job turns out bad i will just give them to chuck to powder coat w/e color i want. i painted one of the rims, and once it stops being crappy out i will throw it on and take some pics. right now i am leaning towards the gunmetal, but i have the original silver color too.

Navy Blue would look hot. According to fashion trend deep blue is the new black, so deep it looks black from a far, but when you get closer its clearly blue.

yes deep blue! finally someone who agrees with me around here. lol.

yeah its dupli-color wheel paint/wheel clear coating.....i am waiting for it to get into at least the 60's before i prep/prime/paint/clear my actual rims that will go on the car. but i def like the way it looks, the center cap silver and the silver lugs make it look nice....

yeah iw as gonna get mine coated too, but its a pain in the ass to take the tires off, have no rims for like over a week. the paint should turn out fine as long as you prep it well, and take your time. i have painted a lot of things and had it turn out great. a lot of people never use primer which is the KEY to a good paint job on any surface....
