Default painted my wheels yesterday

i painted my wheels yesterday check em out and tell me what you think

first picture is what the wheels looked like before painting. i took them off and sanded them with 320 grit and put liquid sand paper on them to help the paint stick then i used caliper paint. i did 3 coats on the wheels and 4 on the lug nuts. i think it turned out pretty straight.

Paint quality came out real nice, but I see over spray. next time get a pack of cards and put 'em under the edge of the rim.

But I still say
