cool shaft...i'd paint my calipers, but you can't see them from behind the turbine wheels and it's pointless to paint a turd anyways. Painted calipers can look very tasteful with the right color/wheel combo. Do you have any pictures?

Cool, I was thinking about painting mine too. Did you paint them your self? If you did, what'd you use to do it?

Let's see some pics too, eh?

My front calipers are painted dark blue, and I painted the caliper bracket silver to match my 98 Cobra wheels. It looks pretty good.

i went down to oreilly and grabbed some 500F engine block paint, it was Ford Red too

no primer required...i don't remember the brand cuz i'm at work, but the can had a silver label w/ a red big block engine on it

i just cleaned off the caliper and then used a wire brush on a drill to get the caked crap off and get it down to the bare metal and roughed up. i dropped 3 coats on it, and i'll put more on next time it get a chance
