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!
