you should powedercoat the rims, not paint.

as for the calipers, you have to buy special caliper paint because of the heat generated druing braking. you can't use regular acrylic paints.

ps- i'd visit Lordco to see what they have.

I got mine at www.tirerack.com but I'm not sure if they ship to you

do you guys have pep boys or advance auto up there? If not any local auto parts store should have both of these products. The caliper paint generally comes in a whole kit.

When you paint your calipers, are you going to spray or brush them?
