Painted my calipers
 
Had free time today so I went and got the dupli-color caliper painting kit from AAP and with the help from Nate (19iroc88) it came out looking real good snapped a few quick shots below 8-)

If you get a chance, swapping to LS1 brakes makes a nice difference

stock red calipers = rice

paint them black or gray if you must paint them

Anti_Rice_Guy 12-31-2009 09:58 PM

Came out good but IMO I would've painted them black. That's what color mine are ;-)

jts98z28 01-01-2010 03:03 PM

they look good but i wood have gone black just cause your car is

FlyingDutchman 01-01-2010 10:54 PM

Thanks all!


I thought about other colors and played with it on photoshop and it was between black and red but I wanted a touch of color since everything else is black so red it is lol

Thats why I did red on my brother's car. That and to me, black always looks dirty when it comes to wheels/brakes.
