Default SI Rims painted DupliColor Bronze

Does anybody have any pictures of SI rims painted Duplicolor Bronze? I's prefer to see them on a black civic but any color will do.

I hear that Duplicolor Bronze doesn't look too good on rims with a lot of surface area so I was wondering what they look like on the SI rims.

EDIT...THIS POST IS NOT ASKING WHAT TO DO WITH MY SI RIMS, SO DON'T TELL ME TO POLISH THEM! THEY WERE SEVERELY SCUFFED AND I FILLED THE GASHES AND NOW NEED TO PAINT THEM.

Thanks for the suggestions but none are accepted. My question isn't what to do with my wheels my question is if anyone has any pictures of SI rims painted bronze.

I just got done sending you the pics, the car is a lil salty LOL. I got the rims for 50 for all 4 with the two good rear tires. The previous owner tried to paint them black but did a **** job. I clean them up as much as possible first. I did 2 coats of sandable primer and smoothed it out with some 2000 grit. I then did 3 coats of bronze, and then 2 of clear. I then put on 2 thick layers of wax. THen have done well and clean up pretty good.

People can't read!

I dunno, that doesn't look right for me...just a little too dark, i'd look for more of a gold than a bronze...

HAHAHA I was thinking the same thing.

Not a black car but the wheels are bronze. "Hondizzle!"s car. Not sure if it's the paint your looking for or not. I'm bored and just saw the thread.
