i don't think i could pull off such a bright color on a daily

I prefer gunmetal wheels

I'll be painting the VW wheels I got. I'll make it look good so I can sell them for a good price. I'll be using high temp paint. It's $3.79 each so I got 4.

My vht flameproof paint was 9.99

Lol. These also have a 1200F heat resistance. Here are pics of one of the wheels. The salt pretty much ruined the paint and went underneath.

There's absolutely no curb rashes on them.

I think vht is up to 2000 degree

I chose this paint typically because it is both a primer/paint, cheap, and has a very high heat resistance for its price. If I go to home depot or autozone, I'll burn over $40 on paint. These were around $15-$16 in total.

Yeah. These wheels didn't have clearcoat on them too. So it was easier for the road salt to eat the wheels up.

have to wait till spring most likely but yellow to go over fog lights

 

[Dar-Dar]

If I get the orange wheels. Should I keep them orange or get them painted something else?

Clear coat don't mean anything.. I have cooked the clear coat on my TL's before I had them powdercoated, turned the wheels yellows from the brake dust.
