no use duplicolor wheel paint....good stuff, used it twice. If you cant find a color you want, just get some other paint....pretty much anything will do as long as you do it right...ie sand, primer, clear.

looks like the duplicolor metalcast paint. Sort of like an anodized finish. I saw a set of meshies gloss black with a red lip like these and they looked really nice.

as stated before... duplicolor wheel paint only comes in a few colors. I would have recommended that if he wanted bronze/silver wheels. (I used bronze for my car) neway.... for a lip with the right prep I would just use rustoleum. Any shade you want and its perfectly durable.
