Thumbs up Couple Pics I snapped after I painted my Wheels (56k warning maybe)

Well my salad shooters were in such bad shape had some clear coat peeling basically impossible to clean always looked dirty I decided to paint them since I didn't want to spend the money on new wheels and tires. I think it turned out pretty nice def. looks better than they were so I'm pretty happy with it. So I snapped a few quick pics before I went off to work.

Do the chrome/silver lips look really jagged to anyone else? Maybe it's just my monitor.

They look really good though.

Yeah the original pictures were much bigger the forum resized them automatically and I think that makes them look jagged the originals don't look like that.

The paint I used was just high temp engine paint black about 3 or 4 coats can't remember, then high temp clear coat about 4 coats. I got the paint at autozone. We shall see if it holds up in the long run.
