    Gold & bronze wheel paint

    I am getting another set of rims that I am going to paint gold or bronze. I'd love to see pics of wheels you've painted, and what brand/color paint you used. I know one company's gold can be extremely different than another company's gold.

    I think Duplicolor's Bronze shade is more like a dark gunmetal instead of bronze as well, but I'd like to see wheels painted in any gold/bronze color.

    My only objection to gold spray paint is that it looks horrible after a few months.

      Might be too dark of a gold for what you are looking for..

            That's perfect. It's called Buckskin? Where did you buy it? Is that wheel paint or just spray paint?

            Jscotty, why does it look bad?

              Yes buckskin



              Just bought it at checker auto parts. Its just regular spray paint. Holds up good and thats with no clear coat. I imagine if you put a clear coat on there it will hold up/look even better!

                Damn, that looks like a perfect match to the STi gold rims. Thanks man. I'll see if I can find that paint locally.

                  looks good!

                  i've considered playing with color on the winter 'caps a bit. I'd like to try bronze, but caps would probably looks like ass in any color.

                              What color car do you want the pictures of the rims to be attached? We have red and black.
