Ok well I've had the paint for a while and today my dad and I weren't doing anything so I decided to paint the calipers. Opinions welcome.

looks awesome!!

I wouldv'e painted them a different color...like blue or red always looks good, but great job. How long did it take? Factory rotors?

The reason why I painted them white is because most people I know paint them red or blue, just tryin to be a little different. All in all it took about 45 minutes. All we did was tape off the area around it and then put a peace of cardboard where ever we were spraying. Yes they are factory rotors for now......:devil:

the all white scheme looks great!

Thanks sg2kca, atleast someone agreed wit me :)

I love the way they look. Great job man :tup:

Looks great!!
Make damn sure you did not even get a little bit of paint on your rotors or brake pads though, cause your brakes will stick when you stomp on them! (happened to me)

Wouldnt it be easier and better if you removed the caliper and painted them? And do most of these caliper paint comes in spray or paint?

now u need calipers for the rear....

They look really sweet and it goes well with the all white scheme as sg2kca said. Good job keep it up.

Looks pretty cool. Oughta be fun to keep clean.

anyone know if there is a red caliper paint that matches rally red?

Nice job, just make sure you dont get brake cleaner near them. It isnt a good thing.

i painted my ish red, it turned out good i will post pics later, but i used i high temp primer and a regular red paint. nice looking calipers.

i think you need a drop but nice calipers

Well I ordered my goldlines from Tornactive on thursday so hopefully I get them in this sometime this week and I can put them on sunday. Just to clarify to everyone....I used 1500 degree high temp paint.

Thats cool bro

gee....i envy u dude....my dad would never spend time with
me doing something i enjoy....


btw....i like the calipers. good work....my red caliper turned out sloppy


has anyone ever taken off the caliper and the brake fluid poured out?
yup....i had no brake pressure and i had to drive two miles to the
nearest shop (down shift to slow down and ebrake when desperate)

yea yeah....pretty stupid to drive without brakes


i know i know.....

we were going to try to remove the whole caliper but then I remember someone telling me to becareful not to let "something" leak, and I really didn't want to take any chances. LoL

I have nothing against them. It's all good:clap:

love the all white.....car looks sick now just get a little body kit and it will be off the hook!

u did a good job, but hve fun keepign them clean, the red ones I have are hard enough to keep clean

good god man, you need to lower that bitch ASAP!

your wheel gap = eeewww!

Well crap. I didn't know Tornactive was in CANADA! LoL. Now I am going to have to wait till the 15th to get them in and I suppose I can put them on that sunday! Grrr. I thought I would be gettin the goldlines in earlier than that. Oh well.

We are NOT in Canada

We are in CALIFORNIA!!!

Thanks

looks good again i like the whole white theme you got going. Time to paint those mirrors

did you spray it to white?

how did you mask the surrounding area? the area is really small, how did you mask them without having any paint goes into spaces??

thanks!

I bascially masked the areas around it, that took the longest part. The rest of it was just holding the cardboard behind where I was spraying. It got a little bit on the disc but we just spun it and whiped it off with the cleaner. By the way. I have pics of the car dropped, I just can't seem to load em up off my camera because of the damn bateries
lol
