Default Painting cailipers

Well sence my car is down waiting for parts from the dealership i figured i would go ahead and replace my brake pads with ceramic and paint my calipers. They are not perfect but no one is going to be 2 inches away from them inspecting them. Has anyone else painted theres ? IMPALA / MONTE ?

Right now i have one wheel done waiting for the paint to harden enough to put my wheel on and move to the next one.

I just noticed i spelled calipers wrong and i can't edit the subject!!!

I used the caliper painting kit that came with the brush. Then I hit it with a few coats of clear.

Yes,
They're decals I bought on ebay. I emailed the seller because there were none available for Monte Carlo's, so he made a set for me.
