Post pics of painted calipers!
 
I want to see pics of painted calipers to determine doing mine!

I have other mods/purchases (exhaust, spoiler, paint, tires, etc) I want b4 i drop money on new ones so in the meantime, i want em painted. I saw a guy on here with red ones that matched his car . looked great!

Anyways, if you have em done I wanna see it!

Anymore pics of your car I have red paint but the yellow looks really good with wrb I might switch.

Here's my build thread--lots of pics there: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62568. My detailer did the painting with Duplicolor I believe, four coats of paint and then two of sealant. No chipping after a year, even driving it through winter.

Blue on blue. Wanted to keep with the theme.

Do you recommend removing the calipers before painting or does just bagging them work?

This is my car, it's had some changes since then but the calipers are the same. I will need to repaint them though because it's chipping away. I'll do something more durable next time.

Nice pop of color from under the spokes. Looks good.

I'm not an expert but Ive seen a few DIYs where ppl left the calipers on and painted the calipers with a brush while covering everything else. I think I want to do that too!

Has anyone ever used duplicolor metal cast or knows someone that has? I am thinking this color i found (anondized purple from duplicolor metal cast ) since my car is all black minus the toms
