If you like the flat finish like you have you should still be clear coating them! Helps so much with the dust, rocks, heat. You can find clear MATT finishes (matt meaning no gloss) I'm painting my stockies black with an orange face so be looking for that soon! have one black and taped up so by FRiday im hoping to have an idea.

my cars the supa dupa white...
Wish it was flint mic tho... grr
I picked up another set of wheels (these ones)
so i could take my time masking painting and figuring all the stuff out.
I plan on adding a carbon fiber skirt kit to the car to tie the wheels into the overall look
