i like it and i've come really close on painting mine as well, like a gunmetal color. But i heard a few horror stories about how the paint chips a little and it gets in between the brakepad and rotor and you can't break and you crash...so i was like ima wait. oh I like the lugs unlike everyone else the look sweet...

yea, i never heard of those stories. and yea, i like the lug nuts too. Wish i had the money for Spoon lug nuts. I guess i have to settle for these. thanks for the comment bro.

I was gonna take the calipers apart and then paint them, but it was cloudy and seemed like it was gonna rain, so i just taped up the parts that i didn't want to paint, and went over it quick. Good thing i did that because it down poured right after i finished and cleaned up.

last thing, i used krylon gold leaf. Its not a heat treated paint, but it doesn't seem to bother me yet. I went to providence and back without it doing anything(120 miles), so i think its good.
