So I painted my Calipers this morning.....56k no way

***fiji06si13*** · 06-08-2008, 06:40 PM

I know its played out so let the flaming begin.....

I used Dupli-Color ceramic caliper paint kit.....PS get a better brush from a local paint shop or AC Moore cause the one in the kit sucks......enjoy

I think that you did a good job, but the red calipers in the FBP are not my cup of tea... but if you like them, that is all that matters!
You should get the grafixpressions.com honda decals for the calipers, just my opinion though...

Looks good, I had painted mine and the red got really dirty after about 3 months with regular cleaning, so I bought some aircraft remover and took it all off, btw that **** will eat through rubber and skin so be careful... If you ever want to take it off.
