Painting wheels Gold..opinions plz!!!!
ok so tomorrow im painting my stock 18's Gold. I have the metallic blue lugnuts from discount auto that i plan on spraying with some clear jus to give me some play bc you have to be very easy with them or they will scratch..i own a winning blue rx...i need some opinions on this setup..im gonna try to take a pic of the paint.

Paint looks good because it's fresh. I hope there were proper preparations to ensure that the paint stays that way..
As for the color, I was thinking more of a gold color when you said gold. This looks like a metallic burnt sienna.. Maybe your camera isn't capturing the brightness of the color?
To me, this is gold:
