painted boxster calipers black. pics, bww
4 megs of pics, don't say I didn't warn you.
Anyways, decided to paint my boxster calipers with folia-tec's caliper paint system. Pics don't do it justice, it looks way better in person when finished. Now to decide... brembo decal, porsche decal, audi rings... ;-P
Anywho, I searched the archives for pics for anyone who had done this and couldn't find any (that were decent) so that's why I'm whoring it up with so many pics. Enjoy.
here are my calipers after being freshly "cleaned"

yeah, i missed a few spots. not a real big deal.
the spots i missed aren't visible anyways when the caliper is mounted. 2/3 of the caliper surface area isn't even visible. ;-P

hrm, never thought about that. would have to have it made I guess
or do you know anyone/anywhere that would do it? caliperdecals doesn't have them IIRC, but i've yet to check ttstuff or anywhere of the like.
