I started cleaning a buch of the misc. parts off the creamsicle and noticed this. Overspray on the backing plates, did they paint the wheels on the car?

I dont think so Rich. Maybe your wheels were repainted in place at some time? I have looked at 2 bumblebees up close in that area, and neither of them had painted rockguards.

Just a shoddy repaint. Probably on calipers and the struts as well.
