    Please don't paint the hubs blue!
    They look like such a cheap job otherwise, if your going to paint them something paint them gold.
    You won't get turismo blue in high temp, so you will most likely need to go to an auto paint shop to get the exact color. Otherwise check in supercheap auto and see if you can find the color in there (power plus spray and brush system) spray paint.
