After much thought and inquiry here on Fanatics I made the decision to paint the barrels of my "R"s rims, as the barrels were showing some pitting through the sub-chrome beneath the gray paint. It wasn't as scary as I had anticipated and I think it went well. Took advantage of the situation and cleaned and repainted the rotors and caliper carriers w/900 degree VHT black. The paint used on the wheels is quite expensive, but youget what you pay for. Two coats were applied by foam brush 30 minutes apart as per instructions. If you use this paint you will definitely destroy the lid trying to get it off, so have another can or jar ready to putt what's left in. After two coats on all the wheels I still had 3/4 of the can left, could be doing some engine components next. This paint is guaranteed never to peel, crack, or chip. Attached are a few photo's taken during and after the process.
