Those calipers look really nice man! I was thinking about painting mine, when the other day I was filling up my tires and saw how horrible the stock ones look! Did you sand them clean or just paint them?

I sanded them down a bit ( they actuallly look ok once you get all the oxidization off anyway) , sprayed them with brake cleaner then compressed air, masked everything off and painted them with high heat ceramic engine paint

Looks good. But I've seen a car fall when it's been jacked up on four stands like that, just so you know

Well, luckily mine didn't fall, lol, that would suck, big time,,,,,,, I do like the fact that I have never seen anyone else do a silver honeycomb grill, it's unique and I like it more evry time I look at it

Yeah, it's always best to put the stands under the frame and rear jacking points.

Thanks all, Keep it coming,,, It does feel good when you come up with an original idea and some people actually like it,,, I think I am gonna go with the blue on a lot of my engine components too, I don't know whats up with fords aluminum parts, they seem to oxidize a lot moere than most other aluminum parts, but I was thinking, blue and polished for the engine compartment. I really enjoy doing my own work and I have till march 1st before I go back to work, so cheap stuff I can do myself is best.
