I went to Pep boys, or your local paint suplier and bought a can of high temp caliper paint and used that...took the rims off, masked it up a little, not realy technical and sprayed them that way...only thing ididnt like is that the paint seemed real runny and it took forever to dry..did it in about 30 minutes tops for the front....doesnt take long and for what it is im happy wit the results...i did it before winter and ill do it again in about another week because the brake dust is a pain in the a@@
