There was something I saw (here or on p-car.com i think) that showed the paint they used. Did a little research and decided to try it out. I just followed the directions on the can and shook it for 3 minutes. As for the glob effect.....make SURE you press on the very center of the spray nozzle, I had some issues with the can of Wurth clear and it was because I had my finger slid a little too far forward and it splattered.

Black993, Very inspiring post! They look great! I need to do this to a couple of my wheels. Looked at your additional photos with the wheels installed today. Those are some of my favorite wheels on the 993. I think you'll like 'em much better once you lower your car at least to ROW height. I've lowered mine to just above RS height and even my stock 17" Cups look better now.
