Painted My AP2 V1s
I bought some Ap2 wheels a couple of months ago that had some peeling clear coat, so I decided to paint them. I wanted to paint them the same color as the ISF wheels, the dark shadow chrome. Did some research on shadow chrome and it's pretty difficult to get that shadow chrome, so I'd do some research on what color is most close. I use Toyota paint code 1E3 it's some what close but I still like the color. This was all done with rattle cans, I'd say it's a pretty good job and I like them. Here's some pictures:
Index cards
, light sand, black primer(sorry no pics), base coat, clear coat, and baking in the sun.

More sun baking
and test fitted the center caps

Close up on paint, painted caps and tested which color "H" emblem, went with red and no ring

Bad pics, but that's all I have right now,and more close ups.

Nice job, I've been thinking of painting mine because of curb rash from the previous owner. I just can't decide between a slightly darker shade of silver than silverstone or going with a silver close to the stock color.
Silverstone would be sick, thought of that color but I was in love with ISF color.
