OK I know what you are all gonna say. "Rims look great but the brakes stand out like a sore thumb." I am working on that... really I am... I have all the goodies to do the front brakes. I took some time today to paint the rotors, the calipers and brackets are going to be done when I do the brakes.

Masked and ready to paint.

Unmasked, there is a little bleed though but that wont really matter.

I will be painting the calipers soon and I am going to try to find some CAMARO lettering I can put on them as well... maybe even a bowtie.

Massey, I was going to do my calipers too after I got rims, but never got around to it.
I found a guy on eBay that has a camaro and was going to make me camaro vinyls to fit the calipers in the same font as the tail panel letters. So Paint Color 1, add stickers paint Color 2, remove stickers and boom custom calipers. I'll have to get his username for you, maybe thats what your looking for?

I am not sure about caliper covers. I think I will stick with painting them. I will be selling a cherry picker tomorrow and that will give me the money to get the rest of the parts I need to finish my brakes. Stay tuned for more updates.
