Now color match the center cap and lugs in black mica and you'll be set!

what do you you mean? i was trying to figure out what to do with the caps and hadnt even thought of painting the lugs. the caps look really hard to paint and still leave the mazda logo silver

Go down to Kinko's and get a small sheet of vinyl sticker. Lay it over the cap and cut out the outsides so the M is covered. Color match it and you're done. Bet you can find a local shop that will mix up a spray can. That'd be easiest.

its supposed to have some shine, they are by NO means glossy

id say leave the centercaps silver and make sure you put some clearcoat so they can last longer...also if you get some bubbles when painting, wet sand them down...so far, looks good

im all over the clear, they sell a clearcoat specifically for that paint, and i got a can of it. i kinda tried messing the paint up today but nothing happened, i tapped it with some rocks to simulate rocks hitting them....nothing happened

god dammit, i have to sand them down and do them again, i waited too long between coats and it got crinkly in a couple of spots...oh well, gives me a weekend project.

FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY!

Did you mask off the inside of the wheel? I think it would look better if the part behind the spokes was white too.
