I got the silver paint on the wheels this weekend. The Wurth silver paint did have some clogging and spitting problems but I was able to get it to work good enough to finish. Clearcoat goes on in a couple days.
It was pretty easy to do, I used a mechanics stool (that rotates) with a board and just turned the wheel and sprayed. 4 even light coats did the job.

I know I could coat them, but I wanted to see the results of painting. Besides, so far I only have about $30 in paint invested in this.

This looks pretty interesting, too.
