I took a ride down to see my local PPG distributor. Was able to find the correct SS wheel paint, it is a lacquer and has a little metallic + some suede additive. I also got a small order from Ground Up today... rear bumper, door handles, head light bezels. The new rear bumper on my car is weeping rust, the car has never been driven and mostly stored inside. The door handles, pitting and peeling even though they were purchased new as well. The head light bezels were off of a parts car, my originals were toast and someone had went all captain krylon on them. Although the bezels from the parts car were better, they are starting to peel and pit as well. I'll be saving the parts I just bought for when I strip the car down for a repaint and to refit the gaps better.

To the average person, I'm sure my car looks mostly "done." But I can pick it apart quick, lots of little things that bug me to no end.
