Painted my Calipers

Im gearing up soon to buy rims and tires for my RL so I wanted to touch up the calipers so i decided to paint them.. had a slow start and a little unprepared but job got done and im very happy with the outcome

I sprayed the whole thing silver and then used a very small paint brush from my kids little paint brush set to paint the letters black.

Looks good!

Is there any specific reason you don't have build thread in the Photo Gallery subforum where you post these kinds of updates as well as the general questions you have about what to do with your car? That's really where those things belong. Do you care if I merge those threads into one for you?

Im gonna make a build thread, the pictures upload too big i have to downsize them before i make my thread

Nathan, i had to very carefully tape everything without peeling any paint.. hardest part was using the blade to etch the Acura letters.. i sprayed them at the end with gloss like i did when i did my Brembos on my Buick but there are a couple little touch ups i want to do but it required some serious time and effort lol

I don't think you followed my point. You have multiple threads about your car. Many of them have pictures in them. They all belong in one build thread in the photograph section.
