painted my stock rims gunmetal

hey every1,
I just finished painting the inside wells of my stockers gunmetal, following the write up ZeroBanger had on here not too long ago. They look GREAT! All ive done so far is 4 color coats on the inside. heres basically what i did:

-remove ALL brake dust and road grime however u want to.
-scuff up original finish with 400grit sandpaper.
-remove tires, centercaps, and wheel weights.
-paint.

lemme know what you think.....btw this cost me basically ~$20 rather than powdercoating them for $60/rim.

im letting them dry until 2morrow afternoon to be safe...then doing about 6 or 7 coats on the front and clearcoating that, then hopefully my new tires will be in and i can get them mounted and balanced. But the pics will be up 3min after im finished.
