So I finally fixed my wheels and got rid of all the curb rash left by their previous owners. I decided to go with that graphite color from duplicolor wheel paint. Looks pretty good but im debating if I should put a clear coat on it or not.
Index cards everywhere! I got up later that day and every single last one of them was spread across my yard.         Tell me what you think. |

Gunmetal stockies, FTW.
 Looks great on a white car especially....I would advise you to use the Duplicolor Clearcoat as well, it adds the final layer of protection to avoid having the paint chip off or get sctratches, besides it provides a great shiny metallic finish that'll last a long time. Good use of the cards though, thats pretty smart. I took a garbage bag and taped down the edges then cut out with a utility knife the exact size of the wheel to use as a template for each one.....your method looks to be much easier and quicker.

But I think it made the shutter speed slower or the exposure time longer? lol |

slower shutter speed means longer exposure time.... more light gets in making the picture brighter, just make sure its on a tripod or something solid.
