gunmetal paint?
So I've been trying to find gunmetal paint all over the place... Does anyone know what company makes it? Some people said the name couldve been changed. I'm not sure where else to shop for it. I've been to autozone, home depot, and lowes and none of them carry gunmetal

Yes they're for rims. I've been searching the car stores and the only duplicolor paint I found was for the exterior of the car such as body panels, not for wheels.
When I asked if it could be used for the wheels the guys at the store said it wouldn't hold up to the heat of the brakes like paints specially made for wheels. So I'm not sure what paint to buy cause I haven't found gunmetal elsewhere

it wouldnt cost much to get a shop to do it properly, if u just do single stage paint itll be about $20 a pint probibly need 2 pints to do 4 rims if u do base coat clear coat, the clear will be more wouldnt take them more than a few minutes to do the prep work.
id say under $100 for the whole works, labour included
unless your just doing touch up or something but thats the route i would go if i was doing my rims and wanted them to look good
