Painting Calipers

[maxcamaro]

I read a post from a couple months ago about this so i decided im gonna do it this weekened maybe.i think im gonna sand them, paint them, then clear coat. The question i have is what color should i do? I dont have a digital camera so i can't post pics of my camaro but its red with stock shiny (non-real chrome) 5 spoke wheels. Any input would be helpfull. Im thinking about doing red but i need some more opinions. Thanks

black is the best on red. do yourself a favor and buy some "Camaro" decals for them. use brake clean, paint, stickers, clear and your set.

Red, i'll post up some pics when I have a chance. Black is hard to see, red pops out.

black, get some red decals and there is no need to sand. just clean

where would i get camaro decals?

first of all: go to autozone and get VHT High Temp Calliper Paint. The paint dries nicely and super glossy, plus its ready for extreme temperatures so you wont have to worry. its much easier to apply a few coats of VHT than to apply a few of color and a few of clear.

thanks thats a usefull tip i think. So if i use that stuff i wont have to use a clear coat at all?

also do you have to take the calipers off or can it be done leaving them on?

[Fbody3400]

it can be done leaving them on, just make sure to tape off around it
