    I am debating painting my winter rims bronze, but as of now I have had no luck finding bronze in a rattle can.

    What I am looking for:
    1. pics of your bronze wheels if its a red car even better since that what I have.
    B: what brand of paint did you use and what the color called bronze or something else?
    3. Where did you get the paint at? my local napa had a small selection.

    thanks,
    Bill

    17's? Tires on I typically use 1-2 cans per wheel. I'd say start with 6.
    Tires off it's 2 cans per wheel.

    Here is the duplicolor bronze. It is alittle bit dark for me, but it does look nice.

    Check RS25.com for pics of RS 5 and 6 spoke wheels painted bronze, since tons of people have done it over there. The amount of paint depends on how much prep work you do and what color the wheels were before. My wheels were white so it only took me 2 cans of Duplicolor gold and 2 cans of clear to do all 4.
