if i leave it in the primer ill stick a few more coats on , but im tempted to go and get it colour matched or something in matt paint then clear coat it .

really like that colour, looks smart and suits the wheels, as said try a matte grey, or maybe even go for like a Gun Metal grey? that could look sweet!

Was meant to be on the car Friday but one of the tyres had a puncture , so got 4 tyres on and left them with 40psi in at work ... If there all up still will be on the car tommrrow !

Just lost faith in the tyres after that and I'm not doing any road side wheel changes in the wet unless I have too :D

On car tommrrow !
