Default Let see some pictures of painted calipers

After installing my chrome rims yesterday, my stock caliper are look pretty nasty next to all that shine.

I'm looking for something understated... maybe a aluminum or dark metalic grey.. let me see what you got.

I'm thinking that a charcoal grey would look good on a pewter car... nice and subtle. Mine are currently red (the fronts say corvette on them ) but that is going to change one of these weekends. Those polished calipers look sweeeeet! What kind of time and tools are required for that? Thanks.

I have about 6 hours in each set of four. I use a dremel, die grinder, and then finish up by hand....The brackets I usually just paint black...

I got the decals from a guy in my local club, Evilface. He also has a website here

COFBA Message Board

Just go to the board and send him a message or email. \

The WS6 calipers, and the SS caliper were basically custom designs he made for the guys I was doing the calipers for...

I'm thinking of going black and silver. Where did you all get your paint?

Xsta Z 28 and Teri9672,

What shade of gray did you use and where did you get it?
