My Saturday mod day.....repainting curbed to hell S4 rims I picked up for $100.
Thanks DigiAlex for the wheels 
Btw I used Duplicolor Silver Wheel paint and it was a DEAD ON match to the OEM silver. After the horror stories I've heard w/ Wurth paint cans, I'm glad I went this route.

Thats what I used for my Swing wheels ...don't use the clear coat over the silver.
The duplicolor paint is high solvent and if you want to touch up the wheels later it means a complete repaint. Spraying the base or clear over the Duplicolor clear coat makes for a wrinkle finish. I made that mistake and will someday refinish mine again minus the clear.

You can't even put a second coat of clear on or it screws it up , I was pissed.
The clear isn't that great either ,not adding much depth to the silver paint . I learned the hard way.

Manufacturers time on can ,they even tell you that you can't recoat :(
after its dry 2hrs . I recoated one wheel in a section after 30 minutes and it messed up . I had to redo the entire wheel from sanding,primer and all to get it to match the others.

NASCAR endorsed haha....it is durable ,I'll have to say ...some wheel cleaners dull the finish some.
NASCAR fan painting wheels: "Womans gets mey a brewskie I've gotz some paintzin ta do "
