Painted calipers finally
Got home from school early friday and decided Id go ahead and do my brakes, and to kill 2 birds with one stone, Id just go ahead and paint the calipers. Let me know what you think.

Nice. I probably would have gone with a different color, but if you put on blue overlays and blue stripes on your hood it will tie in with the theme really well. You should consider buying clear corners too.

i did mine red about a month ago when i did my valve covers. i used a hair dryer to dry them between coats. i did the same with my berger. i used the drill and a cleaning/polishing brush on them to get them back to the stock silver. and hit them with brakeleen. heres my calipers through the salad shooters. the color is ford red. i know i should shoot myself for using a ford color, but they look nice. i only did the front ones, and until i get SS rims and drilled/slotted rotors ill let the rear ones stay the same.
