Painted Calipers for Rims!!
Painted Calipers for Rims!! Hey guys, just thought I'd share that I painted the calipers this weekend in anticipation of my new TTM's coming in soon. Went with the G2 paint (red) on the cali's and then gloss black on the brakets. Also, opted for the T/A stickers on the front and cleared all the cali's once I was done. Came out real good and thought I'd post some pics, let me know what you think?
Yup, just hung them with a coat hanger and painted them in place. The backs are a little hard to get to and the paint job back there was a little messy, but you can't and won't see that anyway. Also, went with a set of Hawks HPS pads all the way around as I figure it should help my braking. Lastly, the rears I removed the bracket as it comes right off the slide pin and painted it separately in gloss black and when putting everything back together I greased up all the slide pins on all calis to keep em' nice an functional. Not to hard a job, but the hardest part was getting the car up on stands on all 4 corners as I have the Eibach pro kit.

Yup, after I sent that message I clicked on the Pics link in your sig and it loaded fine. Great looking car and nice job as well. Like to see a close up of those cali's and rotors if you have em'. Also, not a fan of yellow, but on your car I don't think anything would work better as the yellow really POPS!!!

I'll need to dig up the pics when I get home. I'll see if I can post 'em. 
You shoulda painted that other part of the caliper red as well instead of black even though it came out badass...it would have made the brake caliper 'look' bigger and thus nicer but dont mind me im a picky ******
No prob thanks for the input, but I wanted a contrast look of the red and black not just a big red blob. As to the fronts the outer parts are the edges of the spindle and I didn't wanna have to paint just the tips red, so I gloss blacked the whole thing.
