Default wheels painted

Finished up painting my first 2 wheels. they are aluminum, I pulled them off a 93 cummins I parted out. The clear coat was peeling and nasty and shiny isn't my thing.
Tires will be mounted around the 29th. (37x12.50x16.5)

I used duplicolor wheel paint. They have black, white, and grey IIRC. i did 3 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear. I wire brushed the clearcoat off where it was peeling off and faded it onto where it wasn't peeling so i didn't chew up the wheel. the paint goes on so thick and textured you don't notice the wire brush lines.
