Default Second Mod - Brake Caliper Paint

Well, just finished, and its 1:17 AM here in Georgia.

Took me forever, took my sweet time. Had the Pop helping with the lighting, so I didn't miss anything. I know, I probably spent way to much time on it, but wanted to be neat. Here are a few crappy cell phone pictures. They are currently drying, so once I put the wheels back on, I'll try and get some more.

Good stuff. It'll be a nice look on the black car I think.

Looks good. I painted mine black but am thinking of repainting them to red.

Thanks.

Yea, I grab a pair from a co worker.

I probably took more time on it than was necessary, but wanted to get it right. Just put the tires on not to long ago. I'll try and get some pictures before it gets dark.

Also, I recommend the G2 Paint from Hubcaps.

Went on nice, and was fairly cheap.

Don't let the paint harden, or the brush. Would be kind of hard to paint without any paint.

Once you pop the top, it says you have 4-6 hours to use it. Good luck!

What color did you go with?
