nice work, what kind of paint did you use??? im looking to have my calipers sand blasted and powder coated to keep them from burning off the paint.

89, I used the High Temp Caliper Paint from Duplicolor. They sell the caliper paint in a kit but its really just carb cleaner, a stir stick, and a can of paint. I put about 5 coats on each caliper and I still had half of the can left... so they give you plenty. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html

nice work.

Looks good. I saw some one Sand their calipers down and polish them, it looked awesome but it probably takes even longer than the 7 hours, not to mention what it will take to maintain that look. That's a lot of sanding needed to be done, I loved the look though :smokin:

looks like you painted the wheel wells too, i did that on my last car and it only stayed black for a couple days. calipers look good. let me know if you want a different decal for your windshield.

Ricer!!!

haha just messin, they look good man

I didn't paint the wheel wells I re-undercoated them. For some reason I like the K&N decal... the colors just go good with my car + its what everyone knows me by....

... :thumbsup: word to you
