Yellow, having over two different colors is too much IMHO. Go with G2 paint. They could custom match your yellow to the original GM paint code. You just brush it on with at least 3 coats and is self leveling. Had enough to do 5 coats but I only did 4 and it was plenty.

Depends a lot on what kind of driving you do. You'll have to clean them multiple times a week to keep them shiny if you're doing a lot of city driving (braking constantly).

Typically my wheels show dirt before my calipers do though. My wheels are plastidipped so they attract and hold a fair amount of dirt.

I clean mine every weekend for sure. I don't want to let the dust and dirt build up.
