Default Freshly painted TSW Nurburgrings
Repainted my 19"/20" Matte Gunmetal TSW Nurburgrings with a High Gloss Metallic Gunmetal finish. Metal flake pops in sunshine.

Your Z looks great. I like the color you picked for the wheels. Do you have a paint code/name/supplier of the paint? I have been thinking about repainting my stockers a similar color when my tires wear a little more. Thanks.

Color is Ford UJ Paint Code. It is the same color used on New Mustang Gunmetal wheels. It's actually listed as Sterling Gray Metallic.

About to drop in a set of Corbeau FX1 Pros into her as well. Will post pics.

Looks awesome! Please post pics in the sun and a closeup of a wheel. I am thinking of getting a set of C6 Z06 wheels and getting them painted a gunmetal grey.
Edit: M7205A, UJ? Is this paint actually used on the Mustang wheels or is it used as a body color?

Actually, when searching for color I saw on 2013 Stang described as gunmetal wheels i discovered the paint is same as used on body. It is def the UJ aka Sterling Gray Metallic.

Very similar to my TSW Interlagos in 19/20, painted in GM Comp Grey. Looks like you did the center caps, too.

Wow, that really does look good! Now that you have them looking that good it makes the rust on the rotors stick out in contrast. Not meaning to nit-pick, but if you have some extra paint, you might want to touch them up too.
