Default What kind of paint do you use?

Alright, I wanna paint my rims gold, but I can't find any spray paints that I like. Im looking for a gold like this:



Thats my car btw...the gold rims are chopped.

I tried some dupli color engine enamel in 'Universal Gold' but it did't turn out the way I wanted.

Any help would be great?

I used the Rustolium Gold paint on my wheels. Came out really nice and has lasted over a year.

No not with spray paint. It looks a little brighter is person. Can't complain for 13.00, and I didn't have to break out the compressor and paint guns

I simply don't have the money for a spray gun and the stuff that goes with it.

I have done both. If done right, there is nothing wrong with spray paint. Like stated above, I have had the gold C8s for over a year now and they still look as good as the day I painted them

PPG base/clear
