What kind of paint did you use on the wheels? Can we see a bigger picture of the whole thing with the painted wheels? Sorry, but the avitar is pretty small and hard to get a good visual.

this paint is amazing, i purchased in at a local store ironically called "the paint store" they sell supplies and paint to all the local body shops(which there are TONS of here in orange county) so you can buy professional grade paint in a rattle can.
that being said the paint takes a beating and doesn't chip/wear at all. it was on my outback's rims all winter and still looks like it did the day i painted it.
No matter how high temp the paint is, it will STINK like paint as long as the paint is on the muffler and piping...been there done that. It also flakes at the welds and spreads.
also on my to do list. i need to go pick up some of the high temp flat black paint then im going to just lay underneath and paint it on the vehicle(uses newspaper to mask everything off)
I recommend Rust-Oleum, 7778830, Bar-B-Q Black paint. It has little if any smell, goes on easily & is rated to 1200*. Use the regular & not the Ultra. The Ultra isn't as "flat" as the regular. The prep is easy, I just wipe off the loose stuff & paint. The overspray will blend in, so I only mask where I have to & just use a paper grocery bag as a quick overspray mask. I've never had any issues with this paint flaking off. This paint is also great on brake parts, if you want them black. You can see my write up here. :wink:
I've already introduced myself in the New members thread but I'll do it again here.

I can't believe my beautiful 2000 Subaru Forrester I affectionately named Ruby (she's the color of a Ruby, my birthstone 💎😊) will be 21 years young next month!

Leased my new '20 Forester Sport - Crystal Black Silica with package 24 on 1/9/20. I installed an AEM Cold Air Intake, and enjoy the sound and responsiveness. I plan to tint the front windows, and vinyl wrap/plasti dip the orange on exterior once it starts warming up in Eastern WA.
So far in a short time I have done the following in order: Front Tint, OEM Hood Deflector, OEM Window Deflectors. Crossbars, K&N Panel Filter, Nameless 5" Resonated Exhaust. LP Adventure Hood Brackets w/ LEDs, 21-Inch Single Row LED Bar in Lower Valence, Rally Armor Mudflaps, and most recently...
