That's a match for the silver.  I used black etching primer for the 
black inserts, taped it off, and then sprayed the silver.  Clear coat on 
top of everything.  I got a very pretty set of wheels, but doubt they'll 
stay that way for long.

It'd be much cheaper to just buy the Moss spray can.  I know, I didn't 
want to do it either, but I'll do it on the next set of wheels I paint. 
 Between sandblasting ($50) and materials, I almost spent $250 just 
painting the wheels.  That's not counting the HVLP gun, hoses, and other 
equipment I figure will be used on many projects.
