so i painted stock rims graphite. don't have money for new rims yet wanna know what you guys think of the color. this was my 1st attempt to paint rims, so please go ez on me. seriously though what do YOU think. i did sand and file the whole 9 yards. my pops says its not a good color. i kinda like it. was hoping for more of a goldish/bronze tho.
they were like this. (remember their 15 yr old rims)  i used this  and they came out like this
