Default calipers painted

Painted my calipers red using vht caliper paint to match my center caps on my rims and my tail lights.. took about 5 hours because of the amount of grease and dirt i had to blast off of them before painting. Used a steam cleaner and scotch brite pad thing to scrub off grime.

Yea the cleaning its the worst part by far. Nice touch, you should try to add a couple of coats of HIGH heat engine enamel Clear coat, this will make it last 3 times as much. I know from first hand experience.
