Well, I painted the wheels and calipers/drums yesterday... so I guess I should post a picture of how it all turned out.

I used a etching primer first, then sprayed with 4 coats of Dupont onyx black, then 6 coats of Dupont's wheel clear. I have to wait a week before I can wet sand and polish them up.
