Painting stock 15 inch wheels
I think I'm going to paint the 7 spoke painted stock wheels I have on my truck. I searched and I found two examples and I think I have a pretty good grasp of how to do it, but I was wondering if a gunmetal gray (Duplicolor wheel coating Graphite) would look good on my sonic blue truck. The paint looks alot like DSG. I might even consider the Duplicolor Black.
Example out in the sun.
Here they are on strakill's truck, example of stock
I would also be painting the centercaps. How would I go about removing and replacing wheel weights, or is this even necessary?

I think I may go with the graphite. For the wheel weights, could I take them off somehow and then mark them on the masking and possibly put them back on after the paint job? How would I do that? If I do this, I'll write a how to of the process. Also, which Duplicolor primer would you recommend? The self etching or the sandable primer?
