MORE PICS LATER of the rears and more pics tomorrow or the next day when they are totally dry

looks great!! Red calipers on a silver car is HOT!!

looks good. looks like you put some effort into them:beerchug:

thanks...and i put a hella effort into them...i did like 3 coats just so there would be no old caliper color showing...if it was even a color

i just cleaned off the back caliper and about to get started on them!!

i did the same thing, same color. i put on like 5 coats tho..looks good

i did the same just that i painted mine yellow,hehe..looks good bud!!

Time for a stupid question - why does everyone paint their calipers RED ??

Seems like you would paint it to match yer car...

But it looks great none the less..now all you need is some slotted and drilled rotors!

my opinion it is done to contrast with the body color of your car. My silver cobra had red calipers as well. My black cobra has red as well.

i painted mine red because they look SICK behind my black motegis :)

I want red, but I may just buy a bullitt upgrade instead :D

yea all i need are some non rusting slotted rotors to top it all off...

anyone know a good place to get any? that will work with my stock calipers

and i am not looking for the stopping power...just want it to look good...dont have enough power to need any stoping power

did you have to remove the caliper to do it?

no mamm :innocent:

im gonna put the cobra upgrade kit on all of my wheels...it looks good for a $15 kit..haa

Yeah I just went ahead and ordered the full 10th ann cobra brake upgrade with SS lines. Forget this kindergarden paint time crap.
lol

well good for you...lol i dont want to spend money on a new brake kit when i dont need it...

this kit was 15$ well worth it...looks good to me

dude paint time is so much fun!

I used the same ****. Duplicolor does start to chip and flake off after time though. I cleaned the hell out of mine and put about 4 coats on. Next time i have to take off my wheels im gonna go ahead and reclean and repaint them.

as for red, it is a great color, i think badfish shoulda done yellow though. ;)

on a black mustang, the red looks freakin awesome. it is a inexpencive yet very nice touch.

rears are done...

and fronts are dry so the wheels are on...

looks great!!

I painted mine black so that they wouldn't stick out...hehe guess I went went the opposite way of everyone else!

Yeah we heared you tend to swing in alternative directions.

Ohhhhh... hehehehe

:beerchug:

Hey now! If it wasn't a good joke I might have gotten mad! :beerchug:

That does look pretty slick!

see i want that look...the slotted and or cross drilled rotor look all nice and shiny not a rust bucket like the stockers :(

You want Zinc plated rotors. Regardless if they are slotted, drilled, etc, the zinc plating keeps the non-contact areas from rusting. These guys have some pretty good rotors IMO: http://www.powerslot.com/. Shop around because some places have pretty good prices on them and Cardomain.com will match and beat it if you find it cheaper.

Here are some........
