Which silver paint? To Clear or not to Clear?

Well I finally decided on a paint. I went to walmart and found that they had a new Rustoleum paint. I tested it out and I though it looked great. So here are the pictures of what I did today.

Compared to my 14" rallye wheels:

The color looks very similar the the 14" rallye's in person.
 
I was going to do the Krylon Paint I talked about in the first post but it looked too mirror like once it dried after I test it.

Krylon left & Rustoleum on right:

Its hard to tell in the pictures but the Krylon is very shiny and mirror-like.

Which Kylon was that: 1403 or 51519 ??

I've seen the 1403 against original paint rims and it was dead on.
 
The Rustoleum,holds well. The Dupli-Color paint Prine describes,sweet stuff. The wheel paint,is acrylic enamel.I did wheels with it ,4 years ago. Still holding. The finish,very iridescent.
