Thread: Painted calipers Update: done

\\★// Update: Done! Pictures on page 2 \\★//
Hi i have some pictures from my weekend project. I also have a question about my calipers. What is that last piece called? Is it the mounting bracket or is it still part of the caliper? Should i paint it... i gots plenty of paint left.

Yes

I didn't want to OD it. I guess ill paint em this weekend.

That wont overdo it. It will complete the job. If you leave it as is, it will look like you ran outta paint..lol

lol yeah hahha

if u dont want that much red then paint the bracket black.

fyi it's a caliper bracket but yea paint it but I would paint it black

you got the same rims I had, how do you like them?
also how did you paint the breaks so nicely with that kit?

Thanks for all your input guys!

just unbolt the caliper brackets (2 bolts) and hang on a wire, and paint away.

I just repainted mine for like third or fourth time in as many years as I've owned this car. Lets see how long it lasts this time. I sanded them real good this time so hopefully that helps.

im done sons! i have pics i took during. I need to take pics of the finished product.
