I'll get a side-by-side shot to show the difference in color. My camera's battery has died and I don't know where the charger is. I'll post what I can when I can.

It was outside so the lighting wasn't the same. I just did the 1 and will do the rest in my parent's garage this week. I'll take better pictures with the same lighting and show the difference.

The difference isn't going to make people (that don't know I painted my rims) say "whoa, you painted your rims!! I didn't like the "beige kind of gold" that they were. Minor details and minor changes to make me happier with my car is always worth it in my opinion.

uhh.. looks good? :what: lol!!

im just thinking that it would chip easier since its spray painted
Clear coat would help that. If done right, then there would be no difference as far as durability.

Ya, it doesn't matter where the paint comes from, it's how well it's applied. It might be on this forum or not but there was a guy that literally used a paint roller to paint his car. After a few layers and some wet sanding, it turned out pretty good. If you know what you're doing then it doesn't really matter.

I'm glad you're 1 of very few that understand why I went with that color. Doesn't matter that I had gold rims before, I like the new color better. If I had white wheels I would paint them the same color I did so there's no real difference.
