Blue Wheels Finally Done.
I painted this back in the summer and posted pictures, several replies suggested doing the wheels blue. Thanks whoever you were, I took your advice.

Looks much better! What do you think about putting the R1100S decals back on the panels behind the luggage rails?

Your scoot looks very nice. I would suggest painting the front turn signal housings blue also, the black doesn't coordinate well. Might think about the front fender too. I did both. Sorry, not the best photos.

Looks great! I'm in the middle of painting my wheels... Did you use the special rim paint?

No but I did use a bonding / flex agent. Other than that just standard base coat / clear coat. |

Paint manufacturers claim that heat from the rotors will cause a problem. I think the way the rotors are mounted reduces heat transfer to the majority of the rim.
