I painted my SS N/A wheels, but I only use them during the winter with snow tires:
(They used to be gloss black)
Used duplicolor high performance silver and clearcoat. The prep work is what took the longest. Aside from a few spots that could use filler, they look factory.

Took me an hour to wet sand and buff just one wheel to the shine I wanted. They look good, but I must have missed sanding right around the lip of the valve stem hole, because the paint chiped back a little. I was to focused on the lip near the tire, and must have missed it. Not sure if I want to can the project and just sell them as winter wheels, or sand that area down, blend in paint and clear, wet sand and buff. All in all the dupli color wheel paint looks nice.
I put my LNF to the far side of the garage. Pulling the trans out on Saturday. The TOB or the PP has to be fucked. There is no way engagement should be this shitty on the clutch after 12 pressure bleeds and no vacuum loss even over night.
Called KY and from what I gather they will rebuild the clutch for about 150 and send it back with a brand new OEM SAAB TOB.
Now hopefully the check valve solves the brake issue. I wanna move onto the fun and go faster stuff.

Found my ghetto PCV hose blown off. Replaced shitty hose that came with my K&N kit with decent fuel hose. Going to open up the airways in my air/oil separator a lot more I guess now.
Also Logged my car when it went psycho and tried to take off. ETC went to 33% while pedal position stayed at 0% so it can't be the pedal going bad.

Um yours is not direct injection so your intake valves should be clean as your injectors spray right on them.
Itll be down for about a week and a half, but that is mostly because I am going to Ohio for the holiday.
KY has a 24 hour receive to reship policy. I will probably have my clutch waiting for me when I get back.

Installed ARP wheel studs and Muteki SR48 lug nuts so I can toss some 5mm spacers behind the 17" SS/NA wheels when the snow drops. Yes the SS/NA wheels clear without spacers, but it's only a fraction of a MM.
Also rolled over 100k. Time to borrow someone's HPTuners and turn off cat warm up before it starts tossing misfire codes again.

Yeah i could get the duraflex one but then idk about the black plaint would look weird with the rest of the paint. Atleast carbon fiber would look better i think lol
Yeah they do and its just the ones on the truck but after awhile you get used to them haha they dont really bother me
