Default Brake Calipers

Anyone know of a good product I can use to paint the calipers so that they "STAY" painted?

Default Nope....Masked and sprayed. Pretty easy job....>More>

Actually I was changing out the pads at the same time, but all the spraying was done with the calipers in position. A little newspaper, little masking tape, and you can do a pretty good job.

Default Hey Tom, let me know when you paint yours....

I'd like to see your calipers after you paint them. I've been thinking about painting mine, but I don't follow photo directions well enough to not screw up.

Let me know...

Oh also, I stopped by the huge wheel place on Hylan Blvd - thinking about having them chrome my OEM wheels...

Geoff.......met a guy in Great Kills Park with a Black Coupe......had his OEM rims chromed and they looked awesome.....liked them better then the rims I put on. Had his done at the tire place on Richmond & Victory......not sure if these guys do them on the island or they just send them out to a place in Jersey.

Send me a pic when you get them done........sure you don't want to try painting yours first?
