Stock Gold on Black - Photoshoot

Answers to questions.
Paint Used: I used 3 coats of Rustoleum Automotive primer (rattlecan), and 4 coats of Rustoleum Bright Coat Gold. Then 4 coats of Rustoleum clear coat.
I'll be honest though, the winter was a little rough on them. They still look good but there is a chip or two. I always planned on powder coating them but I wanted to find the color I wanted first before paying for the PC. I'm happy with the gold so they'll be PC'd before the next winter.
Tires I'm running: Winter ones (the ones in the photos) are Michelin Alpin Sport. Been a fantastic winter tire. Probably not quite as good as a Blizzak in the deep stuff but has better dry performance. Summer tires are General Exclaim UHP's. Another great tire, especially for the price. I had a set of Toyo T-1S's after my Advans wore out and liked them but these are every bit as good as the Toyos.
Boost Guage: Defi D guage. I've forgotten who I ordered it from but it was a vendor here on EvoM. I'll figure out who it was and let you know.
Enkei sticker: Ordered a replacement set of stickers off ebay. Found a guy that could do them any color combo for a good price.
Thanks for looking.
