Well I finally did it!
I painted my calipers and hubs. I chose black because of my car being Monaco blue. I wanted it to look classy not racy. What do you think?

Wonderful job. I am thinking about doing this myself either in black or silver with the stickers. Where did you get the stickers from and how long did it take you to paint all 4?

Thanks for all the great replies!
I got the stickers on Ebay from Sticker Culture. $6.00 and free shipping! They have many colors to choose from. I like looking at my car and not seeing rusty hubs anymore!! I also think the black shows off my chrome wheels more!

Although I might go "classy" on my car, I'm planning on doing this on my wife's Acura, but in red. With a gray exterior, I think it will looks great!!
