Default Pics of painted calipers

BEFORE

AFTER

FRONT CLOSE UP

REAR COSE UP

This was my weekend project. Wasn't hard at all and got me a nasty sunburn too. I used the brush on paint and it came out beautiful. No mess and didn't have to prep much at all except for the cleaning part. So what do you think??
I totally forgot about the caliper brackets when I started, so I am going to order silver paint for them. Also I need to find the caliper decals. Not just any either. They have to be black with silver outlined letters. Example I haven't found them anywhere on the net yet. Anyone have any ideas where to find the decals?

Afterthoughts don't have the ones I want. I want black with the silver outlined letters like the SS on the quarter panel. Might have to special order them.

Don't you think that would be too busy looking? The ones from Afterthoughts look like machined aluminum which is how the calipers would have been made if GM made them for the Camaro.

Why would it look too busy? It's just black letters outlined with a thin line of silver around them. The one problem though. I am trying to stay with silver, red, and black as my only colors.

And how the hell do I get this darn sig turned off?????

Yes, just like the SS decal you have on there.
Thats the exact way I want the camaro decal to look. Where did you get them??


Thanks Andy. I was going nuts trying to turn the sig off.
I am trying to get all the appearance mods out of the way this year and then start with the engine in the spring. If I can hold out till then.

Swandogg, e-mail me at simms_shay@hotmail.com & I'll give you the info. I got the decals from a person who is not a sponsor on this board.
