Wheels finally done
Finally got my wheel barrels painted black and also painted the calipers and the rotors Montery red. I'm liking the look. Looks alot better than the painted grey barrels and the basic metal color of the rotor and caliper.
That said whats the general opinion like or dislike?

I like too. I plan on taking my wheels off sometime this winter/spring and do a deep cleaning. I think it makes the chrome pop. I cant believe how dirt mine are, it kills me looking at them.

Hard to tell on my cell phone but I have thought about painting my barrels black to make make them disappear more and to make the chrome pop more. Will definitely check out your pictures on the computer later.

Looks good, and I need to do something similar (not sure I'd want black barrels).
Question: When you paint the rotor hats, is it OK to be a little sloppy with the paint, and let the pads remove the excess into a perfect circle? Or does that make a mess out of the pads?
