2010hhrst- Just my .02

But I'd be painting the 5 spoke steelie rims White Gloss & leave the hub cappies off..

Then maybe add beauty rings & chrome lug nuts & enjoy..

The Hi-Temp paint I use on calipers & brake drums etc is from www.eastwood.com It is their latest Hi Temp engine paint. a Quart is about $32. retail..
You brush it on, & it levels out smooth as glass, in warm weather..

 

i just used the rustoleum gloss enamel...its very shiny as the home depot employees said it would be, so I didn't even buy clear coat :p

going to have 2 of the hub caps primer, and 2 with the gloss enamel to test functionality as well as looks.

I'm not sure if I want them glossy or not.

 

i dont want to make a new thread, so ill ask here:

wondering about painting the front grille and fog light covers white too

sort of an all white theme

any thoughts?

 

Give this thread a look, its the "Summit White HHR pix" collection, you might get some ideas.

I just painted the 5-spoke steelies white. I didn't like how the gray plastic wheel covers rattled over every bump - so I removed them. I have looked high and low for a white "spider-like" hub cover to fit the 110mm pattern and (so far) have not been successful. 110mm is 4.33" and they are made for 4.5" and 4.75". With a daughter about to go to college, I cannot justify the cost of new wheels. There is a pic in my profile.

2 year update? Why not!

 

The white looks great , 4 year update on stock 18 hole steelies painted Rustolem Red, on chip no fade!! and they don't look cheap like Honda wheels!!!
