I had some Sterling Mist left over from my spoiler install and since I just got my Enkei's in I sprayed mine and two coats of clear.

i really like how those look. but would regular sterling mist paint hold up to the head of the brakes?

this thread is painful to read with all these hold-my-hand questions.

I don't know long term, I painted them on the 17th. So far I have about 350 miles on them and they still look perfect. I was more worried about having to keep them clean.

nice...how'd you do the lettering? Freehand?

I need to repaint mine and I'm thinking black with "NISSAN" or "MAXIMA" on them.

I went with silver and black, but painted them instead of using stickers

You could actually do some crazy stuff using masking tape to make a design. I cant think of anything now that I would want, rather than just a solid color though.
