When you put the wheels back on after coating, paint the hubs and calipers?

Already have the chrome vents from a 45, £3 for all four from my local breakers yard, bargain. Seat wise I think I'm going to go with a couple of nice bucket seats and some TAKATA harnesses, I'll remove the back seats entirely as they won't be needed and I'll make something to fill the hole they leave. I will keep the seats in storage though in case I ever want to use it for a family day out or something like that. This ZS will be more of a toy if I'm honest, for the shows and maybe even a couple of track days. Goes without saying that the hubs will be painted, calipers are with the powder coaters already, having them green too.
Truth is, I just can't be bothered with the hassle the seats will bring. I had a really clean PBT Black ZR before the XPG ZS and I did a similar thing with that, stripped it all back and painted the under arches, had various panels repainted and put all the nice bits on it, janspeed manis, full exhaust system, lowering springs etc... Spent a fortune on alcantara seats, then had to have the bolsters repaired and part of the alcantara replaced, was a nightmare trying to match the colour of the alcantara !
Looked good in the end though -
Thing is though Dan, I get bored fairly quickly after I've finished the cars, then I end up selling them on and regretting it after, it's a vicious circle lmao !
Saving grace with the ZR though was my uncle bought it from me for my asking price no questions asked. Didn't even get close to what I'd put into it as you never do but he looks after it really well and I know there's always the possibility for me to buy it back if I ever want too.
I think this ZS will be a keeper though, think I've learnt my lesson now, but we'll see I suppose.
