Default What Color?

I am almost finished polishing the Si's. Now I am trying to decide what color to paint the inside of the spokes. Now I have seen Gunmetal and that looks very good but I was wondering if you guys would have any other color ideas? Oh yeh going on silver car. By the way polishing Si's SUCKS!

Theres no way you could sand all that without messing up the paint in the spokes and if you taped it off, the tape would just come off because of all the water. It will be WAY easier to tap the wheel off then paint.

You let me know the process then, and I will keep it in mind for my next polished venture. Anyways if I would have left them alone they would have been all curbed up and without clear coat.

I agree,

They look good but I would like a little more shine out of the spokes.

I would paint the inner part gunmetel.

They actually are pretty mirror like but at the angle it is reflecting the asphalt.
