Default Painting the caliper.

Just finished painting the caliper. I used G2 paint kit. The project is kind of time consuming but the outcome is pretty good. Here are some pictures.

Nicely done, looks great! I've got the caliper decals at home, just haven't decided if I could do this myself or not, thanks for the pictures.

Has your driverside sideskirt been re-painted?

No, maybe just the reflection. The rocker area is wrapped with Xpel. I should use the DSL camera instead of Iphone.

I'm gonna be a Debbie Downer here and ask why the heck didn't you remove them off the car before painting. I've noticed some others have painted their RC F calipers (after being removed) here but surprised nobody has done it the right way and have them powdercoated. Sure it costs more and the car will be down for 2-3 days, but it will last. Spray painted calipers will last a bit, but they won't remain as bright and shiny as being done with pc. Yours look great for now, but not removing them and doing it properly will begin to show the faults sooner rather than later. Color looks nice though

Definitely put some Pics up when you get'em on! Those should look Great on your car! Guys i haven't checked (i know everybody is always saying how heavy our cars are) but i was wondering if changing out the wheels would make that much of a difference! I know different wheels weigh more or less than some, but are our OEM wheels considered heavy or not? Thanks!

This looks real good with the white! You fold your mirrors in manually when you park?

The mirrors are auto... I believe this is a standard feature?
