Im planning or painting my z24 rims gunmetal, but i went to the store and they only have graphite. Is graphite and gunmetal the same? Does anyone have graphite colored rims? Pictures will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What kind of prep work did you do before you painted those?
I sanded the rims with 1000 or 2000 grit sandpaper, then cleaned them up with a little bit of soap & water, then 2 coats of primer, then 3 coats of Graphite Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating, then 2 or 3 coats of Clear Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating.
how well does that stuff hold up to the elements? I've been tossing around the idea of painting the stock chrome LS ones I have...but I'm not sold on it yet..

I've had them on my car now for over a month & no chips or cracks or anything wrong with them.
