I figured that was the scientific basis behind the issue, but figured by now there must be flat paint capable of side-stepping the problem since these look so good
I want this on my Camaro, I'll just have the stock wheels powder-coated a semi-gloss black also.
Thanks alot for the info. I'll do some more research between now and couple years before I get my car so I can find a low maintainance for the look I want.
