The wheel wouldn't be under quite as much stress as the caliper I'd think though, so maybe I should give it a go.they actually make paint specifically made just for wheels, and wheel clearcoat too. Available in bronze and gunmetal (and silver but thats boring)
Oooh that sounds money. How long did it take you to do it? Did you sand down the wheels a little first to help the paint stick? How many coats? etc.
This sounds like a much cheaper/ better alternative to powder coating heh.
