white hhr - painting hub caps white - thoughts?
#11
2010hhrst- Just my .02
But I'd be painting the 5 spoke steelie rims White Gloss & leave the hub cappies off..
Then maybe add beauty rings & chrome lug nuts & enjoy..
The Hi-Temp paint I use on calipers & brake drums etc is from www.eastwood.com It is their latest Hi Temp engine paint. a Quart is about $32. retail..
You brush it on, & it levels out smooth as glass, in warm weather..

going to have 2 of the hub caps primer, and 2 with the gloss enamel to test functionality as well as looks.
I'm not sure if I want them glossy or not.

Give this thread a look, its the "Summit White HHR pix" collection, you might get some ideas.

I just painted the 5-spoke steelies white. I didn't like how the gray plastic wheel covers rattled over every bump - so I removed them. I have looked high and low for a white "spider-like" hub cover to fit the 110mm pattern and (so far) have not been successful. 110mm is 4.33" and they are made for 4.5" and 4.75". With a daughter about to go to college, I cannot justify the cost of new wheels. There is a pic in my profile.
