Me three but all I can find on line is bright blue and I am afraid it will stick out horrible against the dark blue car

How about the engine paint they sell. Will that stand up to caliper heat ?

yeah, just go to your local autozone or whatever and get the caliper paint. I painted mine black. It was super easy and didn't take too long. I wouldn't pay some shop to do it unless you have money to burn.

You buy the Caliper Paint Kit in the color you like...

Take the wheels off one by one...

Give them two coats of this paint, letting each coat dry before adding a second coat...

Put the wheels back on and you are in business...

Easy, easy, easy job!!!
