I see, thanks for the info. I'll probably be too lazy to do this since I have to do all 4 to match. LOL! Good job tho. They look good in the pics you posted.

just like to add that I went for powdercoating over duplicolor for a shining silver color. With PC, you have to use a clear coat to protect them from UV.. my sweet shining silver ended up looking gray in all direct light but sunset. blew $400 and really didnt care for it at all.. When I find a way to get all this PC off the wheels, I plan to use duplicolor. I know PC is great for darker colors, but for a silver, it's really hard not to end up with a grayish silver.
