.....the original coating on my alloys is coming off, some places peeling and some just wearing thin. My question is this, would painting my wheels the body color (gloss black) be in any way detrimental to the wheels. I don't want to paint them with any silver colored paint because in my experience silver takes a long time to cure completely not to mention just not looking right with uneven pigment.
