Finished doing the stripe on all 4 wheels and have an 8am appointment to have them installed, can't wait!

I actually ended up redoing the two from yesterday also as the color was a little too off (stupid "flat grey" was actually blueish). I ended up using Flat Steel and Flat Black, 1 part each equal mix and the color is amazingly close to the original wheels.

This is after the first coat...

And done...

the color match is damn near perfect, great job!

That looks great, and after 5 minutes of driving the sprinkling of brake dust will make any minor difference unnoticable.

You were right to make the change, cosmetically and for douchey purposes as well. Was doing nearly 100mph on 95 last night, some ass clown in a Camaro was up my butt for almost 10 miles. Got off at the same exit, pulled up next to me. You guessed it, red pinstripe wheels!
