If you have painted OEM wheels post pix

I can’t decide whether to paint my wheels black or gunmetal? I am hesitant I’m doing this because I have to take the car off the road for a day or two.

In my experience painting wheels isn't good for long term, plus there's plenty of oem wheels in gunmetal so that's a lot less work!

I don't know how to post pics but I painted mine black, did the prep work etching primer, paint, and clear coat so far holding up great.

I have mine done in black autoflex. Its basically a completely removable coating that can have a finish like paint with a auto grade clearcoat that can be wetsanded and buffed and reversable. It has held up amazing, you can buy a wheel kit for about $130.
