Painted my calipers.

Hey guys. I just spend all friday painting my calipers red. Just thought I would post a pic to show people how it looks with laser blue. I know I had trouble finding a pic when I was trying to decide on color. Im really happy with the way it turned out. What do you guys think??

looks good, but I would've painted them blue, yellow, or silver.

An easy, cool mod. Huh? I did mine about two months ago and have yet to see a chip. What kind of paint did you use? Did you brush the paint on?

Ya I brushed it on. I didn't like the look when you mask off everything but still end up spraying the back of the brake pads and stuff. I just felt it would look cleaner this way.

As for paint, I used this engine enamel from

It was all they had in red. I've used their paint many times before mostly for work underneath my old cars. As far as im concerned theres nothing better to protect from rust. The paint is fairly thick and dries super hard but doesnt chip.

i'm not a fan of red, but it looks pretty good.
silver would have been my choice.
