I painted my 03' Enkeis with the duplicolor graphite gray spraypaint for wheels, 4 coats of paint, 2-3 of clear, they came out perfect and the 1 1/2 years they were painted, no chips of any kind.

Yeah the black with sliver lip made me rethink about which one I wanted to do, but I choose gold because it was alooooottttt easier to do and i mean alot easier, just cause the stock enkei's have no cruve to them, so its harder to pick where to end the sliver lip, but if i would have bought rims i prob would have bought black with a sliver lip, i'll try to post more pictures later

hopefully you stripped the wheels of wax or polish before you started painting them.
