Just painted my calipers...

[tsb09000]

but can't get a good pic to save my life. I'll keep trying in case anybody is interested but for now this is all I have...

I didn't want to go the red route without having actual performance brakes so I went a little subtle with gold. Gold doesn't sound subtle but in this case I think it is

spray or brush?

 

[tsb09000]

VHT spray

what color do you gys think would look good on a white truck with black rims? i was thinking just doing black so they look nice and clean with the rims

Looks good!

I just painted mine this week. Cool mod for little money. I went the red route, and I dont have performance brakes, nor do I care if anyone thinks that. I told a couple buddies I was painting my calipers and they didnt even know what that was.....I think its time for new buddies...

I would say silver or black.

ahhh i never thought about silver!

hey tsb, did you take them completely off to paint, or just do it with them on and tape off everything?

I think taking them off would be better so that you paint the whole caliper. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks everyone! I like different and well, they're different.

I didn't want to have to bleed the brakes so I left the lines attached to the caliper but I bolted them to a little stand I built so they weren't on the rotor or anything. I did take the caliper braket off and got it good with the wire wheel and paint. Slow process with all the cleaning and waiting on new hubs to arrive but I like the results

What do you mean hubs

Because I would be interested cause I think mine are rusted

 

[tsb09000]

The whole hub assembly like this
One of mine had some play in it and the other just didn't sound right so I figured now was the time.
