You mean you can't just stick a paint brush through your wheels to paint your calipers?

Are you serious? That would be a pain in the a$$. I haven't done it, but I could imagine the mess and missed spots on the caliper. Then you would probably have to move the car a few inches to rotate the wheel so that you could at least get most of the caliper. I looked at mine earlier, and even with my bullitt wheels I don't think I'd mess with trying WITHOUT taking the wheels off. Maybe I'm just **** though. If it worked for you maybe I'm imagining it to be worse than it is.

They are crazy... you have to take your wheels off if you don't want it to look like your five year old did it. Well i guess that's why mine are perfect... THey have about 7 coats, and a couple of clear to protect them. Oh well take the shortcut and you will regret it.
