Hey anyone know any good gold spray paint? The only kind i could find is dutchboy brand at sears and it sucks. For some reason when i spray it leaves like powder residue instead of going on smooth. Found a site that sells BBS gold color wheel paint but is like 15 buks a can which is crazy i think cause i prob need at least 4 cans.

Duplicolor makes gold and chrome rattlecan. Should be able to find that at an auto parts store too.

Make sure you do a lot of surface prep... sand off the clearcoat, prime the bare metal well, and sand meticulously between coats.

Gold is a color that could look good if done right, but like absolute crap if done half-assed.

I use rustoleum enamel, doesn't chip away as easily as other paints

Here are some wheels I just picked up that were sprayed gold. If interested I can ask what type of paint was used.

Duplicolor makes specific wheel paint and clear. I just sprayed mine with the graphite. There are some pics in the last few pages of the "show me your rx8 wheels" thread on the other forum.

Don't cheap out and do this half ass or we'll all laugh at you when you post pics.
