Melted brake caliper paint
I painted my OEM brake calipers blue with G2 caliper paint a few years ago to match the color of my car. It looked great but I have since decided to paint them black for a more stealthy look. I pulled the wheels off the car recently to give them a full cleaning and fresh coat of wax. I noticed that some of the blue caliper paint had melted and dripped onto the inside barrels of the wheels. This must have happened a while ago (probably from a track day) as I repainted the calipers black in May. Anybody have any ideas on how to get this off my wheels without damaging the finish on the wheels?

I would try hitting it with a heat gun and see if you can get it hot enough to wipe or scrape off.
Any solvent capable of removing that is likely going to have an impact on the finish of your wheels |

You haven't noticed it since May when, I presume, you took off the wheels to paint the callipers black ... so i would just leave it and go driving!

Now that I've actually noticed it, my ocd tendencies make me look at it whenever I'm near the car No-one else has ever noticed it, so I will probably just leave it as I don't want to make it worse.
