and please, fix your rims. The paint is arround 8$ a can for wheel paint, and its doable in a day. Common, it;ll look 5 times better.

Not feeling the white, but you can always paint over the white with another color. Should have mixed the white with some black, next time take the wheels off

and you still didnt get the number...so what you're trying to say is that you're game is weak? haha
oh and white calipers are a no go for me on that car.
your worried about BLACK standing out opposed to the white thats already there..
black would be a lot better on there than white or red.

oh i forgot to mention if someone wants to do it without having to take the wheel off ur gonna have to put the tranny on neutral and push the car backwards as the unpainted parts of the caliper will then show,till you have painted all of it,let it dry then repeat for X number of coats,i used only 3 coats,keep an oxiclean bottle by you in case u mess up and its ok to paint the rotors, the paint will be removed in less than 30 seconds of applying ur brakes while moving.thats only if u dont have time to remove the wheels..but its better to do it properly if u have nothing to do

ya like i said it should only be done if u dont wanna spend too much time on taking wheels off etc, some people dont have time i guess ,this way took me about 30 minutes to do all four calipers
but ya ill do black tommorow for sure,this time ill rotate my wheels so guess ill have more room to work

Did you clean the calipers before painting them? If not you may want to clean them before you paint them again

yo what are some products to smooth out the calipers? sand paper? before the white i just washed them and rubbed off flaking using a very thin metal pad for cleaning pans etc. i still havent gone black,i accually switched the tires out again but didnt feel like painting them,maybe soon,what black should i use?

I only recommend quality caliper paint like G2 anything else will just fade and flake
