Painted my wheels graphite metallic today

I wanted to change my wheel color but didn't want just black either so I came up with this idea. It's still pretty dark but has a lot of metallic flake in it. It's all plasti-dip so I can take it off or change it whenever too. I did 4 coats of black, 4 coats of graphite metallizer, and 3 coats of dip-pearl top coat in a Preval sprayer to give it some extra gloss. I was hoping for more gloss than it gave but I'm okay with it. I really like how they came out but I did get a run in the clear on one spot so that's a bummer.

Perfect visual mod. Classy, subtle but noticeable, matches the car really well.

Looks great .....plastidip makes a spray on top coat to protect, also armourall extreme tire shine works well too.

The Summit epoxy wheel paint is very similar to G4 caliper paint. Great quality and durability. Needs activator also:

Looks great! Chevy should have offered a wheel that color from the factory.
