I am tackling this project next week. I ordered the same paint as displayed in the original post. Low-Gloss Black for the rims, but I have decided to do my calipers and the lip in "Daytona Yellow" made by the same brand of paint as I have the yellow oz.
I will add pictures once the paint comes and I begin.

u beat me to it!!! my rims are drying as i type... its too hot out today to get the calipers done, ill save that for another time but i think black with yellow lip and yellow calipers will look sexy... i have a white evo 8

Thread revival here!
I am going to be using the Duplicolor Engine Enamel High Gloss Black and High Gloss Red along with Self Etching Gray Primer and some Clear Coat to be doing my Enkei stockies in the second and third week of August. 6 cans black, 2 cans red, 4 cans primer and 2 cans clear along with a package of 400 grit sandpaper and Gorilla painter tape. Total cost = JUST under $100 from my local Napa store. I will for sure be posting pictures of before and after!
Thank you for the write up!

I did this like 2 months ago and thought I put up pictures but apparently I forgot!

CAR AFTER:
- I did not do the center caps - 3 of the 4 were cracked or chipped or broken so I am going to get Red lug nuts instead to have some contrast in the center. I may pick up some new center caps down the road and paint them with a red symbol and put them on but idk how the red lugs would look with that, so I may pick up black ones when that happens.
- Also since these pictures I have tinted the tail lights
- The pictures of the car in the "Before Car" pictures, it had not been washed in 2 weeks and the after pictures are after two washes and a wax
