Finally Painted My Rims And My Calipers!!!
So I've been wanting to get new rims but didnt really want to put too much money on the rims and if i were to get rims i want Carbon Fiber ones. So for now I just painted my rims AND my calipers .
I used G2 Brake Caliper Paint System Kit for my calipers.

It took about 2 hours to get them done. I let them dry for an entire day just to be sure.

I got it off Amazon.com, it came within 5 days. I wasn't there when they did my calipers I had to get to work but I'm sure they sprayed it on. Sorry if its not too much help :/

Honestly I'm not sure, we sanded it down and cleaned it then my friend painted it. Again I was at work so I'm not exactly sure, but he painted them black and put a Matte finish.

Where did ya get the black lug nuts from or did you paint them? If you painted the lug nuts, how did you remount the wheels without damaging paint on the lug nuts? No security lug nut?

Sorry for all the questions, its just that I'm also interesting in painting my wheels but I heard horror stories with trying to keep the lug nuts paint and still in great shape. The security lug nuts are a must for Camaros as our rims have high resale value and look very expensive making them a target for stupid theives.

On that note, your rims look sick! Great job man.
