gunmetal paint?

Hi,

So I didn't think I'd be doing much modding so I got the wheel/tire package that guarantees repairs and stuff from the dealer for 5 years regardless of what happens (aside from wearing out the tread). Anyway, I kinda (really) like the look of gunmetal rims. Is it possible to somehow paint or treat the stock rims to be gunmetal?

Kinda like the color you see on TL Type S...

Thanks!

Plastidip comes in gunmetal and you can add 'glossifier' or 'metallizer' to tweak the look. You can google up pics/videos of it pretty easily. I'm planning to 'dip' my stock wheels after I mount winter tires on them.
