I don't like the duplicolor or any spray types. They have different properties than regular automotive paint like diamont and spies so there may be wrinkle or curling in the paint when applied. Fortunately my father owns a body shop but I have done all my own work. I am discounted on finishes and other items at the local body shop supply store. I painted my wheels black base and clear coated them inside and out, they look real good considering I did them in my garage, some dust fragments but my wheels cost me $100 to do. You could also just sand the wheel spot down and blow in argent base and either blow the clear in or re clear the whole wheel. just my two pennies.

They have an exact match and many people here have used them

they are a little pricey IMHO but it's an exact match!

Just ordered a 1oz. bottle for $20 shipped. Well worth it if it's as good a match as advertised .
