Here's my wheels I got a month ago, just been raining too much for pics. I changed my breaks and painted calipers while at it. Breyton lip, 20% tint, and lowering springs coming very very soon. Anybody painted their chrome window/door trim? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Looks good.
What paint did you use for the calipers?
