New Rotors and pads installed, w/painted calipers

Finally did my brakes this weekend. I'm really happy with the way they turned out. Special thanks to Paul (One Eyed *****) for coming over today and helping me out. I was having a hard time getting the damn pads to go in.

I went with the Baer Decelerator rotors and the Hawk HPS pads and painted the calipers black with the Dupli-Color caliper kit. Also installed some caliper decals I got from Southern Mustang Supplies. Below are some before and after pics:

Looks sharp! I need to get mine done someday and get those decals on. Do they seem like they will holdup? The decals that is.

You could always clearcoat over them.

Got the same rims and was curious to see how black calipers would look behind them, it almost makes them invisible. I'm probably going to go with ford blue to match my valve covers...

Now you did it as I was planning on painting mine silver as I already have a kit in the garage... but after seeing yours done in black, think I will going that route as well!

Looks great!
