What type and brand of clear is compatable with the Mopar Argent paint? Also, they say that the Wheel Vintiques have powder coated their rims but they really scratch off easily. Makes me think maybe they aren't really powder coated but does anyone see problems with roughing them up and then shooting with rattle can Mopar Argent? Thanks

I was able to get lacquer paint for mine and they are just like original and have held up now over 8 years now. To do it right, you should spray the rear and insides with semi gloss black and then paint the front with argent. Repo center cap, I never used them. Here's the paint I used.
