Painted mags
When the car was pewter the mags looked good, now that's its electric blue pearl they didn't look right.
Going with suggestions from the forum and polishing the vanes and going with semi-flat black they look great again. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Talk about a time consuming project, i would estimate it at 3 hours per tire.

Looks like a totally different wheel. Better than with the car painted silver. Great job.
