I polished the calipers like AcidDragOn said. There's a write-up that I followed here Polished Calipers I did the driver's side one day and the passenger side the next because it was so hot here and I didnt want to be out all day. It probably took about 9 hours for all...maybe a little less. I will tell you a couple hints if you plan on doing this that arent in that write-up that I came across while doing mine. Let me tell you though that mine don't look nearly as nice as Brandon's on that page. He spent alot more time on his to get them looking that good! I would recommend doing it though because they do like nice and you dont see polished ones that often. :D

yeah, lemme know those hints.... ;)

See what it is, is i am looking around for ideas of what to do. I have front disc, and rear drums..
I wanted to either paint them red, black or have them look like urs, polished...

I don't know what i should do. i have a red camaro and have Eagle 077 Chrome rims on the way to my house... lemme know if u have any suggestions... meanwhile i am going to post in the one of the boards and ask for their opinions too....

Those Eagles are pretty open so you could really see the calipers so either red or polished would look good!! How about you polish the calipers and paint the bracket red? I painted mine black. If you do go with polishing be sure to get the thinner/smaller sanding bands for the dremel in both coarse 60 and medium/fine 170. And also get those same grits in the larger/fatter bands. Be sure to get the tripoli compound too.

I had a little more trouble with doing mine because I had painted them red a few months back :( so it was tough to get out of the tiny areas and I still have some red paint there.

Good luck on whatever you do!
