Painted My Calipers and Hubs

did the same on mine the day i picked up the car. Looks so much cleaner black because over time the bare metal turns into a nasty rusty look.

I highly recommend the G2 paint, the process is a bit time consuming, but IMO worth the effort.

I was thinking the worst when I clicked on this thread.. yellow with ebay BMW stickers or something wild..

but you did a great job! wheels look very classy and clean now

I never thought about it, but that's exactly what I would expect from the title also... Black is fine for me, I'll let someone else try yellow...

Thanks for the compliments!

It's a fair amount of work, but worth it. Good luck!
