Default Paint Question
Getting new tires this weekend and decided it's time to paint my MOAB rims black. Not sure I want it to be glossy black, more flat black.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thats the way I'm leaning.. it looks so much better than a glossy finish.

Dupli-color seems to be the choice in many articles I have read, any input?

Lake George is good stuff. Kinda touristy if you live around here, but if not you'll have a great time.

Some nice restaurants right on the lake too.

Have fun!
