Ok. Mine are silver around outside rim. It seems easier to spray silver, apply my vinyl decals on spokes, mask outside rim area and spray charcoal.

My mistake, as I mask mine with Fine Line and tape, not the vinyl cut outs which require spraying silver first. I tried those once, and they weren't that great a fit for me.

24 hours. Lightly scuffed with scotchbrite. No lifting after pulling tape after paint applied to that surface. Pulled the tape about 12 hours after it was applied with zero issues. Charcoal color paint applied well over previously painted silver.

Seems like if the center is charcoal, you'd almost want the same dark showing through backside openings rather than contrasting the two colors.
One thing that threw me off when I started this venture was, someone painted these rims charcoal around the perimeter bands of rim. So, the only silver was the spokes and small inside band connecting them all.
