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? ------------------ Driving: 1998 F-150 Far way in Edmonton==> :( 1995 Mustang GT |

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 http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif ------------------ SHaFTed 91GT, Flows, dumps, 70MM BBK TB, K&N, Hurst short throw, T5, 17" Lexani Roma wheels, 235/40/R17 on front, 255/45/R17 on back, mach1 hood, LX tail lights, bright red! |
