Painted my calipers today...

PColav6 · 02-09-2008, 07:33 PM

Got the duplicolor caliper paint kit (black) last night, painted them today.

Camera flash makes it look kinda crappy.
I wasn't supposed to paint that bar that runs over the rotor below the caliper, and the two pieces it's connected to, right? I wasn't sure so I just left it ugly...but if it's paintable I'll go back and do it tomorrow.

Went with black because I don't really want them to stand out, and thought it would look good along with the FR500s, which get here Monday, with the rest of my stuff

Going to get tail-light tint and the trunk vinyl sometime later, hope to eventually have absolutely no color on my car..lol just white/black/gray.

Red looks good with your car, and thanks for the wheel comment, lol....I'm so excited right now, but I have to write a 1500 analysis tomorrow..and give a presentation Monday, so between now and 330pm Monday is going to suck

looks good. I contemplated doing black when I did mine, but I ended up going with that sporty red look instead.
