I've used the Moss Silver - which is perfect and for the black I've
used Rustoleum Black. The Mask is really a waste of time. But if You
do use it - get some spray adhesive spray it on the back of the mask
and let it get tacky - then apply to the wheel and paint the black
part - this is of course after having sprayed the entire wheel silver.
I used the mask when I did my midget - but when I did the GT I
just spayed the silver and then hand painted the black. Came out pretty
good. Will last about two years then you will have to redo at least the
black paint.
