I did my '93 Aero wheels (The prev. owner had painted them white ot match the car...what was he thinking!). I went with all silver this time, but I'll bering back that polished lip when I next get tires.
I used Wurth Wheel Paint (It's German paint that is very high quality.) I don't think they make the color Grey that you want (I painted mine in the typical "alloy" silver).
I'm satisfied with the results. Of course, I learned a bit from the process. Be sure to do numerous coats, and wet-sand a few times...especially before applying the clear coat. If I had access to a compressor and gun, I'd have given it a try.
Good luck.
