I don't have a pic but I painted one of mine when I was painting my calipers. I thought I was using my hi temp silver but I grabbed my son's silvery blue (like a polar silver with a little more blue). It still looks great, the best out of them, but I didn't ever get around to the other three. This was last October, still looks good, I will snap a pic tomorrow. Some folks say not to worry about masking because the brake pads will scrape I off but I did anyway.

I worried about having a thick paint surface where the wheel mounts to the rotor so I used thin coats and the wheel wore those spots down, hopefully with heat and not friction / movement. I do have the wheels on and off a fair amount though so that may be it.
