Default Caliper Paint Job

Here's some pics of me painting my calipers chevy red-orange. I debated between blue and chevy red/orange. Blue probably would look cooler since my cars blue but I had to go with the classic chevy paint.

Wire brush attachment and some BrakeCleen did all the prep work.

Took me most of the day to do the front 2, I'm going to finish the rear ones tommorow.

Looks very nice. You did an excellent job. Once it warms up here AGAIN I just may have to do that as well. I will more than likely go with the blue though...camaro is silver with blue LED accent lights on the inside.

Once again, EXCELLENT job!

Did you use high temp paint on those or just regular paint?

Try to find this stuff called "Wizards Polishing Cloth ". It is a smallish bit of cloth pink and way way easy to use . I have used alot of differnt stuff on rims but I have never seen anything as easy to use as this , you literally wipe on and done. It cuts thru brake dust like nobodys business.

Actually I'll save you the effort http://www.wizardsproducts.com/content/category/2/7/5/

Sweet job in the calipers!
