Thanks man! I’m hoping that because I went with a clear enamel, it should be strong enough to resist some abuse but may require a cash tip in advance when getting tires mounted.

Rustoleum antique brass. The vintage bronze is a bit too dark for me and honestly my phone doesn’t do an amazing job of capturing the color well or even consistently. I’ve never seen bronze CE28’s in person but I’ve seen bronze RE30’s and I’d say mine are a bit lighter.

Those look fantastic! What was the brand/color you went with? I might need to do that for my silver 07 Impreza next summer.
