So, stupid question, you just painted the caliper while on the car?

I'd be totally up for that! Sounds like the next fun project! I'll find a G2 kit off ebay this week and hopefully have it in time.

yes...the duplicolor enamel caliper paint kit works great and holds up great....But use the brush version...NOT the spray.
Just seal up the can good afterward and you will have plenty of paint left for future touch-ups if you get the occasional rock chip.

Sweet....thanks bro...I'll check it out...thanks for the link...
that definitely adds even more of a nice custom touch to the painted calipers.
and at only 10 bones for all 4 wheels shipped...not bad at all.

Black calipers FTW. Not too flashy, with just a touch of class (i guess).

I need to get my stuff together so I can do this on mod day as well. I'm going to have new shoes by the end of summer and don't want to walk around with holes in my socks.

Hmmmm.. I'm trying to decide if I'm going with a nice black, or if I want to bring some color with purple or pink. I think pink would look nicer than the purple with my Tealie. The purple color looks too light and pastel. BUT, I don't have pink anywhere else on my car, and don't really plan to at this point. Black it is, I guess.
