One done... three to go... I went with an "anodized blue". I'm having a heck of a time uploading photos and wanted to show the progression, but.... it's a translucent blue intended to be painted over a chrome or metal finish for an anodized look. Since my calipers aren't chrome, I put down a gold flake under the blue. In total 3 coats of each primer, gold, blue, clear. It's a little darker blue than I anticipated, but I kinda like it. I was tempted to leave it as the gold flake, but no. I'll add more pictures once I figure this out.
Lessons learned for the next three....
1) Apply thinner coats. A little sloppy and ran a bit.
2) Allow to cure more before reassembling the wheel. I rubbed a little paint off and afraid it will start to peel on me.
3)Borrow my neighbor's lift stands to do two wheels at a time. I do have two jacks, but wasn't comfortable with the safety of having two up on jacks.
4)Those 10 minute intervals between coats is an opportunity to clean your wheels inside and out while waiting!!!
