Steve:
I must second Gary's comments. The spray paint from Moss is expensive
(for spray paint) but it matches the factory color very nicely. I have also
found that spray paint quality varies widely, and the cheap stuff just
doesn't work well. The Moss product is decent quality and is a perfect
match. Spend the extra money and get the Moss.

Steve,
I painted my wheels with Moss Wheel and Valve Cover paint. They look great!
The paint leveled and covered very well, was fast drying and has that
factory look that silver paint from the hardware store just doesn't have.
It is one of those products that I was really glad I had bought after using
it.
