Hey, just got finished painting my rims. I used valspar metallic bronze with many layers of clear. Let me know what you all think.

that looks pretty good, any close ups? Is that bronze, looks kind of darker than bronze because of the pics. Looks like you got smoked headlights too...nice

It's just Valspar bronze metallic from a rattle can. I got it at Lowes. Sanded the rims smooth and started off with light coats. It's about 3 cans of paint and almost 4 cans of clear. I wet sanded the clear with 2000 grit sand paper and then waxed them.

Can you please measure minimum clearance on the front end?

I posted the link to my headlights thread a few posts up. It's not a how-to, but shows the light disassembled and what I painted. The lenses are not painted; they're still completely clear.
