Melting Slicks
Will be doing mine very soon as well. Those look very good. However, I'm thinking of going away from red since I have a white Corvette (see my avatar). I'm thinking of going to either white (gasp!) or silver. I can't recall ever seeing a car with white calipers. Wonder how that would turn out? On the good side, since they're painted, I could just change it if I didn't like it. I also just got my drilled/slotted rotors so will be doing all at the same time, new rotors, new brakes, paint calipers. Should keep me busy for a little while.

Mine is also white, but I went with the red calipers to break it up a little....
emblems on front and back, emblems on wheel centers, and calipers...little bit of red here and there seemed to make sense...

[QUOTE=jjradtech;1580254706]I painted my calipers this weekend. I used the duplicolor kit./QUOTE]
Did you take them off and spray or leave 'em on and brush?
They look good!

Painted brake calipers
Sonny,
I left them on and brushed them. As others have said, the
brush that came with the kit is junk, so I bought some brushes
in the crafts dept. at Wally World.
I jacked up one wheel at a time with my 1.5 ton jack I
bought at Harbor Freight.
