    Im sure there is more odds and ends as well that i forgot about but im not using rattle cans i am trying to up my game a little and move to hvlp spraying figured a cheap set of wheels would be good practice.

    These look like they turned out just fine and you removed the drips from prior attempt. Maybe a little dry looking but can't tell from photos (usually caused by less than full wet coat on the claar)? If so could probably buff up after they cure a long time. But they are wheels and will get dirty and likely unless used paint with harder they will loose gloss with cleaning anyway unless apply a shiner. FWIW mine were purchased new in flat black and like it that way...not a show truck! Nice work.
