i’ve been looking around for a nice gunmetal setup. i’m not buying that crap from autozone or krylon from walmart i was looking at some systems from eastwood but they dont’ carry a gun metal color. anyone know some good chip-resistant type paint in a gunmetal or where to find it? i hear dupont makes some wheel paint but i can’t find distributers for it.
