Not yet. I'm waiting to do the calipers till I decide if I want to plasti dip my rims. Could go black, red, blue (might be to much) or just a nice aluminum coating to restor them. Then Ill decide exactly how I want the calipers. The blue looks good. But too much feels like it would look tackey. Have to be careful how much I do.

Lmao plastidip your rims black, you wont regret it. And. Um. No haha it will Deffinetly not stick on tires. Still tape them off when you paint but no white walls haha and yeah man the painted engine bay really makes your car pop when your hoods open. I love that my engine bay matches the calipers and emblems.

Everything Iv been reading says it will stick to the tires. Even seen a couple people do it. Just gotta clean em real good and their is a yellowing issue. But if I do a dark undercoat might not have that problem. Ill prob go black on the rims and do the calipers at the same time when she gets out of the body shop. But I gotta do my valve covers first.
