Gold calipers
Hey all,

I just thought I'd share my caliper painting experience with the group. I had lots of help from fellow member Darkwing Dan.

These are the results. I went with gold to match the Enkei centre peice of the rim and because I havent seen too many gold calipers.


Far...


Closer...


Closest..

look like brembo brakes. if you got the enkei rims w/o the holes it would have looked like the lan evo combo.

It is caliper paint. Good up to 900 degrees farenhiet.

I didn't remove the caliper to paint it. We just taped newspaper to all the areas where we didn't want paint to go. And the outside of the pad is painted. It would have been too annoying to try to not paint it. If you dont want to paint the pad you probably have to remove the caliper.

And the Infinity g35 coupe was my inspiration for the gold caliper.
