Question How to Paint Calipers?

I have just finished painting my calipers in chrome, but not to shiny. I'm thinking of painting my calipers red because i juss painted my r 34 gunmetal and the interior is red! How can I paint the calipers red without touching the rime?

Re: How to Paint Calipers?

if ur gonna paint ur brakes, u take the rims off first.
to paint ur calipers u just mask the disks.

Re: How to Paint Calipers?

why did you put the rims if the brake disk didn't was painted

paint before, a steady hard will be able to do this easily
