Painted Calipers

Hey, Just wanted to share some results with everyone. I painted my calipers with Acrylic Enamel single stage paint with harder. They came out great. Easy to do and don't have to remove calipers for great results Here are some pics.

If anyone interested in more info let me know.

Looks good from the pic even though our calipers are pretty puny. Did you brush on? I don't see any overspray on your masking tape..

Yes I used a acid brush. From a Friend of mine that paint will hold up very well. Not cheap about $100.00 for a Pint.. But I plan on doing the wife's car and my truck as well so it was worth it.
