Great job on the wheels. How many coats of paint and clear did you give them?

You should mask off the mitsu logo on the caps and paint it red as well. I think it might look hot.

StockEvo_guy,

I did see yours first. But I was going to just leave them all black, then the pinstripe idea hit me and I was sold. I didn't feel like masking and painting the red lip.

Others,
I used black brake caliper paint. IT WAS HORRIBLE! I would never use it again. I would use regular Krylon Gloss Black. Then once the black is on and looking good, coat it with Duplicolor brand Clear Coat for Wheels. The clear coat has a little silver metallic in it. It is also chemical resistant.

The pinstripe can be had at any auto parts store. It's just plain red. I used 1/4 in thick. I might try a little thicker if I have problems with it coming off.

I'm over center caps, they melt on the track!
