Go with Wald Executive instead. Much cleaner.

Satin black. Paint all the chrome satin black too. Leave the wheels polished just have a pinstripe guy paint a bright red stripe around the outer edge of the wheel closest to the tire.

satin would be a nicer finish than flat black. Just remember its the same process as regular paint job. You'll have to put clear on with flattener in it. This is the only way the paint has uv protection. The hot rod community calls it Suede, not flat black or satin. Dupont has a special paint line for this with flattened clear....have fun!
