idk..but is that finished?

The arm won't show through the wheel, that is all I painted also.

I agree. I used G2 which is a high temp paint specifically used for brake calipers but is extremely chemical resistant and have seen it repair itself from scratches once the calipers get hot… and you can get it standard or custom colors($65 v $130, while that’s a substantial difference, go to your local paint shop like O’Reillys where they mix whatever colors you can fathom OR go to Hobby Lobby and get the “pearl pigments” you just add to your paint… this is what I chose and it was just blue base with 10% gold and 40% purple pearl… I was a paint and body specialist for a decade plus 5yrs after high school).

Not hating your workmanship, either of you, but I am wondering something. Not sounding insensitive since we all have different tastes and goals for our vehicles but I did my caliper coatings on my Porsche GT2RS,, my 650hp Tahoe and my RX7 FD, all SEMA builds… so not only did they need to withstand enormous amount of heat but be flawless since they were on display with wheels you could see the minute details. (Just a few pics of the color on my Porsche and my Tahoe with its gold accents.). Anyways, if you’ve got the factory TRD wheels or anything that doesn’t have a slim 5-6 spoke wheel, you’re really not going to see them or (worse case scenario), if you off road, they won’t even stay clean and may even scratch up which will end up in having to repaint them repeatedly. I guess im just curious unless you have something like the last picture. (Have to laugh at that “build”.)

lol bruh what are these trucks for the Lgbtq parade?
