I've got CGP with blue calipers (though I think they came out too dark ) but I'm gonna do blue also, and hopefully it will draw the blue out of the calipers more. Will any old auto paint from a pep boys work well for these? I assume there is no need for high heat/caliper paint.

ya any paint should work i used touch up paint nothing speacal. you may need a white base coat like white primer first that will make the blue POP more. they should have primer touch up paint and evan a gloss touch up paint if you want to go crazy. also with your calipers to if you do a white base coat then do blue they will pop out more to btw.

i think they are some cheap auto zone lugs they look like the angle was the same as stock lugs. they were on a rsx for more then a year and no problems also the finish is still good to great.

Yea I've been wondering what to do with them, they are really rusty. Does that rust cleaner I've seen in auto stores work? Either way I think I may need new rotors soon. But that's another reason my calipers don't stand out, dull and rusted rotors are eating up any contrast the blue would have.
