What Roger1 has done is a very good and Durable job and the colors will look great outside.
IF you want to spray bomb it, Our Host Ames sells the paint in cans.
Even with that, I highly recommend the SPI clear that Roger1 used. When letting it sit for 30 min AFTER mixing and Before spraying, the UV protection is the Highest you can get in a clear coat.

Thanks.
I haven't had an opportunity to take outdoor photos yet. I think the Charcoal color still may appear lighter than a lot of them I've seen though. But, I really like how they look so am not concerned if the color is lighter than factory or not. Plus my car is somewhat of a mild restomod making it not an issue for me. I also painted the inside of the wheels with black epoxy primer instead of the Dove gray they are supposed to be. Wasn't concerned with that either.

I did use high quality products and I spent an inordinate amount of time on them and I think that all paid off. I'm sure they shine more than they are supposed to but, I prefer that look.
