looks real good. another great thing to do is paint everything else in the wheel well low gloss to matte black (dont use flat its too gray) that will really make the calipers and wheels pop.

Thanks all, I am really happy with the way it turned out.

The "Camaro" was a sticker and for the paint I used diplicolor caliper paint.

Later down the road, I am looking to get black spoke rims to make them even more visible.

How is the sticker holding up? I want to do the sticker too when I re-do my calipers, but I'm afraid it will peel.

Great job on the paint. If you where able to get just the letters from the sticker, you could paint them black. Put the letters on. Paint the red and then remove the stickers and clear them. That way you don't haft to worry about them anymore. Some spray on ''stop rust'' would help befor you do the finder wells.
