Default Painted the Calipers

Just used Duplicolor, decals from southernmustangparts, and some clearcoat.

looks good, nice touch Toy4Bob.

i did the duplicolor kit last fall,
mainly for corrosion preventative.

Looks good. I would have painted a little more of the caliper though.

Looks good, but painting the sides would make it look better.

I just did mine too... I completely disassembled them... washed in acetone and used Rustoleum blue (brush on)... Major pain to take apart.. Took three nights... But you get to paint the whole caliper and support this way...

I do like the stickers. I'll have to ck them out...

If I did it, would have to be a dark color.
Good job though.

Looks great! id paint the inside too. I did it with spray, just jacked it up, took off the wheel, laid plastic round the car, and sprayed the caliper, came out pretty decent and was done in a day
