Stock black rims on dg coupe

Whats everything think...they turned out pretty good could of used some more sanding and it was damp and the clear coat was coming out white but it dried pretty clear.

i used express's diy...worked like a charm ...hold up i paste it....

took me about three hours and let it sit overnight

he did gunmetal i used the black.......if your going to do it yourself jsut make sure you sand it flat....theres one or two spots that looked flat til i painted it and the black shows it like a bump....also clearcoat comes out white if its done in the colder temps or if its damp....it rained here last night so dont do it when its below i htink 60 or wet out

Yeah my car looks just like yours and I think it would look good considering my front rims are curbed from the previous owner. But, it looks really good on your car now all you need is window tint and it will be matched.
