Default Red calipers pic

I finally took a picture showing the painted calipers. I think it's descent enough to show
I think I will lower the car first with coilovers then decide if I really want to get a new set of wheels. Thanks for looking.

Must be in Washington State - look at the fog! Nice pic, and the calipers look great. May have to try that on ours. (12:30 and still pea soup in Bellingham!)

What do you use, red paint? and how long does it take you to do that? Do you have to take the caliber out? I want to do that as well. I have the Metador Red.

THanks,

Thanks guys. Yes, I'm in WA state I used a caliper paint kit that I got from Autozone. I did not have to remove the calipers to paint. It is brushed on paint and I put about three coats letting it dry in between coats. It dries fast too. Just make sure you clean the calipers really good with a small steel brush and solvent (comes with the kit).

I had mine painted red when the shop put on the set of 19s. I don't want to jack your thread with pictures of my car though. Unless you want to see them.
