I painted mine in a nice metallic red with the standard steel rims painted gloss black. Silver is such a weird colour to take good pics of as they reflect a lot of light back at the camera and I think thats why they never appear to look glossy even when they are very shiney, keep up the good work and I think the ram pipes look really slick by the way.
Well bear in mind it's Duplicolor paint too, which is designed to be used on 1:1 cars, so I suppose the flakes WOULD end up a little big
