Clearcoat flat black rims?

[jayro]

Hi all,
I have some rims that I am sanding and repainting. Decided to go with flat black (gloss shows to many imperfections). What I was wondering is if I should clearcoat them? Would it make them have an almost Satin Black finish? Also, I have wheel paint clear coat, but when I have clearcoated some black items in the past it kinda dulled the black and made it look gray. Any tips to avoid this? Thanks

There is a satin or 'flat' clear just for using over flat colors.

Ill have to look for it. The regular stuff isnt working right. Im getting pretty tired of resanding stuff.

I actually think there is a flat powdercoat. You might look that up if you have the $.

I am thinking about getting them powdercoated this winter. For the time being I just want to make them look okay and get them on my car. My tires r worn out and I want to get tires for these rims instead of the slicers since they are 7.5x16.

If you are going to have them powdercoated this winter (which would be the best option), then I wouldn't worry so much about making this paint job perfect until then, since it will soon blasted & pealed away anyway.
