Cool Painted My Calipers and Brackets

Here is a real quick (bad) pic of my painted caliper and bracket. You can still see my finger prints on them. The clear has only been drying now for couple hours.

I will take a better pic once they are all installed, should be tomorrow

exactly the way i did mine about 2 moths ago. but CAMARO signs not trying to hijack

i did mine on the car with i just took off the wheels and made sure i taped everything up.
painting i got the kit they sell at autozone comes with cleaner can of paint to do about 4 whole cars lol and a brush.
i like how it turns a little lumpy so it looks like factory painted

i just hope u used high heat or caliper paint or else it wont hold up..
