Nice!
What kind of paint did you use?
Is that semi-gloss?

I use flat high heat paint
why you ask? cuz the heat from the disc/brake
might cost the paint to bubble

Thats what I was wondering....
Paint is on the rubber as well, which I personally think looks ghetto, but the paint job was good!

Did you follow any instructions, or did you just wing it as for painting the rims?
