I like the idea, had my rims coated in a silver trying to match the original about twelve years ago and they are in need of attention. I would enjoy hearing your thoughts about dealing with rims in this condition, i.e. previously coated and deteriorating. Also - I have painted this car multiple times over the years and would tell you that the color is directly related to how wet you spray the paint, what color basecoat you use, how much paint you put on, if you use clearcoat and how much, etc. I applaud your efforts.
