I used Argent silver from Eastwood and I'm real happy with it for stock 
Bugeye rims. Silver is one tough puppy. The print division of our 
company has always battled with the sheen and rubbing off for many 
years. Temperature, humidity and application technique all effect the 
suspension of the pigments and how it dries. I'm with Frank on letting 
it dry before overcoating with clear. I'd let it go a couple days to be 
extra sure.
