I was going to say that. Maybe paint the face a navy and the sides gunmetal?

Thanks for the input guys. I think i will go with a gunmetal black on the face and keep the edges silver. I was also thinking blue but it would look out of place since every accent piece on the car is black.

Could consider repainting some of those accents blue as well :P
that would set you apart some as well

Ok guys just spent 4 hours in the blistering sun sanding, wet sanding, priming, painting, and clearing these damn things. Only got the first 2 rims done. Unfortunately i have to paint the outer part of the rims after the face dries. Here is the before and after.
