Hey everyone. I was just wondering what kind of paint you would you use on alloy wheels. I know Ford has the Argent Silver wheel paint available, but that's not what I'm looking for. I have the 17" 5-spoke wheels on my GT and I want to paint the bezels (I guess that what's you would call them...basically the little recessed parts on each spoke) either Rio Red to match my car of gloss black. What could I use and how should I do it? Thanks.

i painted the mustang in the middle of my rims black so it would match my car. i just taped it and spray painted over it! i used a clear coat when i was done. i did it over the summer and its still holding up so...

Thanks as always. Actually I was thinking of painting the pony too...I was going to do Red, but I think it would be kind of ugly, so I want to do gloss black. Happy New Year. Peace.
