i did my stockers in gunmetal, but you need to put at least 5 coats if you want it to stay on there....then put a couple coats of clear....other than that just keep em clean and the paint will hold nicely.

The paint that i used didn't seem to want to grab the way i wanted it to so i'll have to do them again. James if you want to make it a saturday project we could pick either my house or your house and hit the wheels.
