Okay, so mine didn't look so bad before I painted them, but now I know that they will not rust... should I ever get caught out in the rain.

Yeah, that has been the problem for me. The can of paint sat on the kitchen counter all winter. I was glad to finally have some time to fit the job in this weekend... the combination of working on the car and the yard and I'm walking around as sore and stiff as a 70 year old.
BTW - the above comment is pathetic... feeling like a 70 year old? Wait until you get as old as Phil.... (OK, OK... and me), then you will feel like 107 years old!

I was actually kinda annoyed as my torque wrench scraped one of my wheels (in two places) when I was setting the torque on the wheel bolts.
I need another weekend.

Yeah, I really have no excuse. I'm at the gym everyday, but a full day of jacking the car up and down and doing yard work and I'm walking around like... well, as you said, like Phil.

After reading this original post ---- I did mine last weekend. I used spray paint I had in the garage. Rustoleum --- Sterling Silver. Covered the brakes - Rotors and went to town. I also sprayed my lug nuts and locks with some Chrome paint I had.
Looks great. Thanks for getting me motivated.

Hey, speak for yourself! Did yardwork, washed two cars, and ran 3 miles (3 more than the Porsche). And Wayne, we know I'm LOTS older than you! BTW, did you get the pics of my brother's cars I emailed you?
