Look at my wheels and make fun of them! I need help with painting!!!
Ok thats what I have so far, a nice satin finish using VHT wheel paint. But now I want to clear coat them yet still retain that satin/flat finish.
What the hell do I use????? I cannot find a flat clearcoat anywhere! (auto/hardware/paint stores)

hey just a suggestion, I had a freind of mine paint the H letter in it Red with nailpolish. Somepeople think it looks ricey, but I thought it looked pretty neat, matched very well with the black paint, and created a nice contrast between the two colors. Try it out if you want, but even without it the wheels like nice. (thinking about it, it works best with white and red cars, but not really a custom color.)

If you use the normal clear coat on the flat black, it shouldn't make it shiny.
What year and model did those accord wheels come from? I'd like to find a set of those for my car.
