Default First mod by a car noob with pics!
So i finally managed to paint my calipers and put stickers on them. If you guys knew how bad I am at DIY's you would be building me a monument right now..




I know the pics are huge and I know I need a car wash lol. I did this about a week ago and haven't washed the car yet.

That is the biggest picture of a wheel that I've seen in my entire life. I got a headache searching for the calipers. Good job...I think. You should edit/ resize those pics pronto.

Don't forget to get in the lug holes and to dress the wheel wells.




Nice work. Personally I prefer a darker less obvious color for the text since they are stock calipers and don't need to draw that much attention.

I agree with these two guys. There are two threads in the Detailing section that were posted recently about wheel well dressing products.

What about the front calipers?
