I painted my stock rims black and my calipers red. I popped off the center caps and taped off the nissan logo and painted the rest of the cap black as well. In the picture the Nissan logo is a little dirty from the tape residue.

I used some engine enamal paint from kragens or oriley i think its called now. The black paint is super easy to use. its the "low gloss" paint. It only takes light sanding for the paint to stick really good. For the red paint it needs more sanding to stick good on the calipers.

I like it a lot. I would almost take all my wheels off and paint my calipers now.

Stillen fascia with mesh replacing the included Stillen grille (the sideways bar thingys).

So this is a spray paint Hussain? I have been wanting to change my stockers for so long but cant afford a nice powdercoat and Im not so keen on this Plastidip thing everyone has been doing. If I can get this done right on the cheap Ill have a set of 19" Tenzos for sale!
