When I did mine I used the black duplicolor wheel paint, it was dull/matt until I put on the clearcoat. just an fyi, since it'd probably hold up a little better than primer (since it said the clearcoat was optional)

Good job with that! I've always wondered how it would look.

Did you just use paitners tape to pask the shiny area? Did you prep the painted area like the guy who started this thread?
