Paint was about 6.00 a can I used 2 of them. Duplicolor hi heat low gloss, 1 can of primer which cost 7 dollars. Sandng material was about 12 material was roughly 35 bucks around there..and it took about 4 hrs because of the sanding and waiting for primer to dry then the paint to dry...I love the look in the pics it doesn't look as nice as they do in real life.

Whatever color on wheels, leave the Brembos original color.
