Painted Caliper - Photos!

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

I just bought a no-name-brand caliper paint from local advance autopart and painted my calipers. It took me about 2 hours because I had to paint several layers to get the color right. It looks pretty good so far.
A:

wow great job!
I want to paint mine gold like the brembos!

how easy is it to do this? I'm pretty much incompetant with cars, but this seems like something I may be capable of doing. Looks good!
A:

i'd think the tough part would be getting them clean first.

hmm, i dont know how much i really like the color...but it's not mine. A silver would have looked a bit better on DB. But, good job anyways. you should do the outside metal brackets around the caliper too.

im way anti-rice and i did it, click on my name to see my car...im not trying to give the impression i have a BBK(anyone could clearly see its stock), i just like the way it looks. it doesnt add any weight, isnt overly obtrusive, doesnt affect performance, it's a cheap mod, and is easily revesible. Surely we would have all loved to have brembos, i for one did not have the money for a track though

That car does not resemble any rice at all. Good job on taking the time to add your own style to the car. I would have tried to find the same blue to match but the gold resembles the Brembo color.
I have those same wheels and I really want to get rid of them and get some of the 06 wheels.
A:

Thanks, Talon32. I don't care about what others are thinking about my mod. I love my car and I love my cheap mod!
A:

driven deceived me with his painted calipers.
