Flat Black Wheels
Easy Mod, I used the fusion flat black camo paint. What do you think?

Don't use Flat paint...use satin. The reason is that the FLAT black will turn grey within a couple of months and it offers absolutely no protection to the black you just painted. At least with the SATIN you get the least amount of shine plus it stays black and it protects the black you just painted. Trust me I know what I'm talking about I use to work in the paint department for Home Depot and I have personally experienced using both flat and satin rattle cans on car stuff. Other than that....it looks good.
Flat= a bitch to clean Satin= easy to clean |

I didn't paint the wheels but I did put the hub caps in the dishwasher to clean them before painting. This made them nice and clean and they had a nice lemon scent.

Beautiful, the flat black matches the outside trim in front of the side view mirror.
