Very nice, I just got done working on some wheels for my bmw. The rover is next, I'm starting on a bumper and some other cosmetic upgrades this week, maybe the wheels too.

Forgot to mention I picked up those wheels from a local scrap yard for a hundred bucks. Then spent that much refurbishing them...

Ive been using that paint on mine for a while now. Other then rock rash stufff seams to hold up real well. The only draw back is the paint stains if you leave mud on it for a few days. I put flat clearcoat on mine Im not sure how its gonna hold up yet but I'll kepp it posted.

just to clarify....jbm used stovepipe paint (hiheat). the bmw wheels here don't look the same. they are more grey, a little shinier. i think i prefer that for the wheels on mine.

LH..are you talking about the high heat. if so hows the clearcoat look on em. is it matte or did they go shiny?

Yeah I was talking about the stove paint to clerify things. Its a low gloss clear, they shine a little bit. It has about the same sheen as the hood black out decals have now. I'll grab a pic when I get home later on this week.

Sam, I think it does that. Hopefully with a little use it will even out. I did my grill in the stuff. It's not on yet but it will smudge off. I don't think it will effect the overall look. I hope. i don't think the clear will do it. If it's not holding on it will probably just come off with the clear when rubbed. And I'm doing my roof and black out in it unless I feel it won't hold.
