Looked through this for the most part and was wondering if anyone tried the OEM FM paint on the wheels to paint match the car. I see white, black, silver, and almost any other color try to match and it usually comes out either really good or just terrible, was wondering if anyone tried to color match on a FM.

I did graphite...I thought it would match close to FM then it does...it's a few shades lighter, and I guess with spray, no matter how many coats you do it don't get any darker...
Here it is again for ya:

well lemme tell ya lol, a ton of sanding, some paint remover, lots of different grit paper, 3 compounds, and some mothers polish lol, and a ton of time to tape it off right... it really is a pain cause underneath all that smooth silver paint is about 4 other layers of paint, and a ton of machining lines i needed to sand out...

How many hours do you think you invested in those wheels? I love the look, but I don't think I could stand to have my wheels off my car for as long as I'm sure that took! lol
