Painted Rear Calipers

[chromebullitts]

I'm probably done painting the rear calipers to match the fronts. The only thing I would suggest is go buy a couple quality brushes. The one supplied likes to leave bristles in your work. Other than that, the ceramic paint is easy to work with.

Yes, both sides are done.

Very slick! Nice touch.

Sssweet. They look great! It really changes the look of the wheels. How about a pic of the entire car?

I took your advice on this and man was I glad. I got started with the provided brush and it fell apart in no time. I picked up a $2.89 pack of art brushes from Lowes that are working great.

Of course, working on it.

Curious on what color you decided on. As far as the brushes go, good move! Toss the supplied brush in the trash.

I went with black. I want to see only the polished wheel and of course the flat side of the rotors.

If you’re doing all this work I would recommend spraying your rotors too, it keeps the rust down as they get older. They have special high heat paint just for the rotors themselves. A step even better is to have them powder coated.

They do look good Joel.

I've also notice the paint will chip with an impact, like a rock. Seems like they will need to be continually touched up until I can afford the upgraded calipers from Ford.

Your talking the ones you painted? I didn't have a chipping problem with mine, but I used the spray on stuff.. i think you said you used the brush on.... not sure if that matters...
