Painted my calipers this weekend...

[IanMykelB]

So We had amazing weather here this weekend, so I decided to paint my calipers. I think it came out pretty nice. Sorry I only have 1 pic though. Will post more when I can. I'm waiting on my stimulus check so that I can get tint, headlights, and taillights. Should be coming this week, so more to follow....

Looks good!

I can't wait to paint my calipers once I get my car back from the shop.

Very nice man! Did you paint the rear calibers too? I got my stimulus check today, but unfortunally none of it is going into the car :(

Turned out nice! Did you use the G2 caliper paint by any chance? I used that on my stang's calipers and couldnt be happier

No, I actually used the Duplicolor kit. It was really pretty easy.

No, I haven't decided if I want to do them. Because they are smaller, and I wasn't sure if it would look good, but now I am thinking that it looks sort of strange with just the fronts done. Tom, what are the last 2 of your SSN? I'm hoping to get mine really soon!

Unfortunately im claimed by my parents so i wont get one. :(

I did front and back red like yours with the duplicolor kit and i see spots where it is chipped already. I did front first and didn't have time to do back that day and it looked kind of goofy with just the front done.

How long ago did you do it? Did you do 2 coats or more? or just 1?

the calipers look astounding in red. i would paint mine, yet i have rear drum brakes, so t would still look kinda funny :/ damn you gt owners lol

Duplicolor kit is very good, easy and dry fast

nice, but how come i never see anybody paint there calipers black with a black car, to me i dont think the red goes with a black car, but i dno, i guess i will have to be the first to try it sometime because thats what i want to do.

[Grims01GT]

I guess it depends on your paint scheme. I'm going Red as well, but like i said thats the scheme I try and follow. Its your car lol do what you want

I ordered the clear corner headlights, the XXL grill set, new HVAC knobs (all but 2 were broken) and once I get all that granted I have some money left I'm getting the LED tailights.

Looks good, I did mine last year but they need to be redone again :(

[tenspeed]

what about painting them white?

I painted mine with white epoxy paint. It was guaranteed not to chip. After the second year, they were covered with chips and grime. The seller would not answer any emails.

I ended removing the white paint with brake cleaner and spraying them with Krylon glossy black.
