Painted my calipers red...check em out..

Painted the stock calipers red with 5 coats of Duplicolor brush on paint. I painted the back of the caliper on all calipers except the large middle portion. I will hopefully get better pics up with a real camera after I wash the car. I'm very happy that I went with red instead of black or silver.

These pics were taken on Thurs. while it was still light outside with a cell phone(LG Shine)...sorry



These pics were taken tonight in my garage with artifical light and another cell phone(Samsung BlackJack)...the lighting sucked and my cell phone discolored the pics
-only pic I have of a rear caliper

-the front with wheels

^ Good job...Very glossy. Do they maintain that glossy look for a long time?

Some new pics with your car washed would showcase them better.

yea I can't wait to get home and wash her. It's been close to two weeks since the car has been washed b/c of the weather and my schedule. IT BETTER NOT RAIN TONIGHT! I dunno why I even posted up these pics. They suck and don't even compare to real life

Looks good you should do your hub black too because the rust just kills it.
