Default New Pics! Wheels Painted

I decided to paint over the silver trim I had on my rims and go all black. Looks like I made a good decision. While I was at it I grabbed some Acetone and removed the VHT nightshade I had on my tail lights and clearcoated them and them look almost new!

Looks nice with the tail lights being normal, helps the other red accents, not like they are orphans. Monte is looking pretty trick....

Looks great, black wheels always work on silver and black cars.

Default Mine!

The black looks great I did the same thing to my wheels (winter rims)

Sorry the picture isn't the best quality it was from my phone and my car is dirty but you get the idea
So I was wondering on suggestions should I pant the bowties on the centre caps?
