what kind of paint should i use to get the high gloss black paint on my stock wheels? i already tried duplicolor wheel coating flat black with clear coat and that did not do it. They are still flat black.

Maybe the high gloss engine enamel / high heat?

I did that and it came out fine... the black is only on certain parts of the rim, but it's all cleared...

Not the best pic, but...



If I had put more clear, and followed it with some wet-sanding, it would've shined up even more...

make sure you clean the rims real good too before painting so the paint actually sticks...
