Hey everyone,
I am trying to figure out what color to paint my SE stocks. My car is quicksilver metallic. I included a pic of my car to help out. Please let me know what you think and if you have any samples of SE stocks please show me.

They used to be painted Black so i took the paint off with paint stripper so the original clear coat on the rim came off. they dont have the shine they used to have.
