Personally, I think Satin Black is a better choice. Flat looks great for a while, it seems to trap to much dirt and looks old very quickly.

Also, consider gunmetal/graphite.

I have been reading a lot of posts on how flat can break down quicker. Maybe just a semi-gloss or satin black (like you said). Hmm.. well it's happening Friday, so I'll try to post some pictures of the process!

I used Rustoleum Graphite Wheel paint on my diff covers. They are a close match to the Mountain Edition/Black Opps wheels. I plan to paint my wheels the same when I have a chance.

Wheels are sanded and prepped. Heading to the tire shop in a bit to unmount the old, paint, and remount the new tires!

I like the dark charcoal color the Special Ops Wranglers have their wheels painted. Anyone know the name for this color, & is it a MOPAR color you can order it through a dealer?
