Freshly Painted wheels!

I was aiming for gunmetal which i couldn't find, but I found a "graphite" color which was close and i like the results:
BEFORE



AFTER





I couldn't stand the scratches anymore so i decided to change it up a little

Personally, I would have gone with the chrome darkening kit. Advanced and AZ should have had it!

It doesn't look bad though!

Looks good, you know the only one who sees the scratches is the one who washes it.
