There's a reason why black on black looks good..it flows.
Anodized, metallic blue for a set of wheels don't exactly flow. No more than bleached hair on a dark skinned person looks out of place. It's awkward and stands out in a bad way.

Geez guys, go easy on him. Maybe he wants his car to stand out.
His car, his money, his opinion of what looks good.

Which is fine, i'm just tryin to clarify why someone would criticize it.
of course they do. excuses are all i have.
besides, in the end, i'm sure you dont really care what we have to say about your wheels, I know I don't...

poor anna! how many miles?
i live in a town that is just terrible to the finish on cars... so i wax the front end often, and the spot just over the windshield, and the a-pillars. usually get a bit of wax after a wash... i sometimes even put on some rain-x (i know it's bad, but so are the love bugs) ..
so i buy the bottle of touch up... tape around the spot... fill with the paint... then wet sand off with 600, then 1000, until tape starts to get sanded, then buff out spot, and wax... basically the same way i repair a surfboard... good enough...

Approx. 5,000 miles total, I've put about 4,000 on it since I bought it end of november. I drive 20 miles to work and back 5 days a week and everywhere else on the weekends. I won't be able to any touch up work till it gets warmer.
Thanks for the touch up instructions thoughSmokehouse

Just under 300 miles on mine and I have a 1/8" dark chip dead center right on the front of my hood...I went to wash the car for the first time and couldn't believe my eyes...and of all the primer colors to use...grey, what a crock of s***.

no worries.. there may be a better way, but that is the way i do it. and it doesn't leave that little bumpy area where the repair is..... i leave the tape on and wet sand, that way the tape protects most of the area... you can even use 2000 but i think 1000 or 1500 is plenty...
i hope it warms up for you soon.. cold weather sucks (i'm from FL)
