Wire wheel/brush the wheels to remove the rust, then prime and paint. As long as the wheels aren't significantly pitted, bubbled, or otherwise damaged by the rust, you should be fine. By painting you...
Is the name of the paint actually "Metallica" silver (or is it just "metallic silver")? I would imagine the band Metallica would take issue with Subaru using their name as a paint color...
Being near the upper limit of that spectrum, I find that products that appeal to me are marketed significantly differently than those that appeal to the lower end of the scale. ;)
I understand that when there is a need, someone is going to step in to fill that need. But it's "painful" to think of all those cars that are being subjected to dirty towels, and the inevitable...

I will say that pictures don't do these cars justice. Especially for the interior. I've been in a couple of...
Looks great! The clear on mine definitely isn't as hard as on my Camaro or the wife's Equinox (or Corvettes for that matter). I've had very good results using an orange pad with M205 or similar...
I can't readily say what exhaust is worth on the V6's, but without intake/exhaust I'm doubtful you're going to unlock 30-40 hp just from tuning (especially any type of 'canned' tune). My suggestion...
Fair enough on needing additional cut from the D300 and MF. My G8 started out in very good shape so I didn't have to use anything very aggressive (and it's white so that helps too). I haven't had...
