Why not just clear coat them?

Just my opinion: if the wheels have no flash or anything that needs to be touched (and of course you like the color), I'd airbrush some semigloss clear (or dullcoat, or gloss, what ever you prefer) to even out the plastic shine. *EDIT* Wolf beat me to it Thanks, Ismael

I'll give it a try, thanks!

Question. What does this mean from the instruction sheet:
XF-56 : 4+X-6 : 1
Does it mean 1 XF-56 mixed to 4 X-6?

I understand it as 4 parts XF56 and 1 part X6

I never ran into that problem before with the paint mix ratios and sorry to hear about the body damage. Hopefully no further damage like you said. I'm right there with clear coating the wheels as well.

I understand it as 4 parts XF56 and 1 part X6 Glad I ask.. now that you say it I can see it but before it didn't make sense to me. I never ran into that problem before with the paint mix ratios and sorry to hear about the body damage. Hopefully no further damage like you said. I'm right there with clear coating the wheels as well. Yep, I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out after the clear.

I understand it as 4 parts XF56 and 1 part X6 That's what I would understand it as.
But I never use their painting instructions, I just look at pictures of the real car and try to match it.

I'm going to be doing the next ones by the book until I get one that turns out satisfactory

They also didn't have a call out for painting the wheels. They look beautiful! Should I paint them? When I did a Subaru WRX, I didn't spray the wheels with anything.

Any idea what C20 is? I can't find any place for it to attach and I don't see it on the box art or any other model pictures.

The scoop on the roof lets in fresh air to the cabin, C20 open/closes the vent and directs the air.
