Default Painted Caliper Pics Inside

Let me know what you think...

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics. I don't have a digital camera yet. This is what you get with a disposable camera and a scanner.

I have to say that the calipers look MUCH better than the pictures show. Thanks to everyone who's helped answer my questions...

Big thanks to Poltergeist for hosting these!

I used the paint can to prop up the calipers while i painted (with high temp spray paint <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ). It was the perfect height.

Thanks guys. I thought for sure I was going to end up with paint all over the car. It was much easier than I expected. It was however a PITA watching paint dry...literally.
