Default finished paint of calipers/cage..... opinions?

in the process of doing brakes so i bought a set of f/r calipers and cleaned them up and painted them. wasn't too hard but i think they turned out pretty nice.




bought this cage from a fellow board guy for $85, it was rusted and dinged up and had a bad black paint job on it. i sanded it down and painted/cleared it 4-5 times to smooth it up some. had it painted black but decided to change and paint match my exterior color, i like the contrast.

The calipers look sweet. I'm actually in the process of painting mine right now. I like the contrast of the red and black. All you have to do now is get a camaro sticker for the front calipers.

I used the duplicolor caliper paint and a high heat clearcoat. The cage was rusted, so I sanded it down and got most of it off.

Nice job on the cage. Good choice on painting it to match the interior.

Just got my door bars for my cage today to convert my cage from 4pt-6pt. Cleaned up the dirt and put the first coat of paint on. I'll post pics of it all together when I'm done.
