          haha..you definitely aren't getting overspray like that...but, better safe than sorry right?

          Looks real good..I would do this to my car, but my car is black with silver accents and the calipers are already silver, and i don't know of another color i would change it to..good job, looks great!

            oh no, i wasnt totally done with the tapeing stuff off in those pics, i did it all the way over to the C in camaro in the back, and half the roof, and more than half the hood. i had alot of time on my hands, i went threw a whole roll of tape too. wooo.

            thanks for the comments guys. TheGr8Schlotzky- if they're already silver id leave them alone, or polish them. polished looks real nice, i though about doing it, but my rims arent open anough to show them off i dont think.

                          I've been wondering. Are the calipers not removeable? I guess they must not be, since all the pictures I've seen of people painting their calipers have shown them being painted on the car. I thought you could take them off. Guess not.

                            kyle- nope not yet, ill do it like the day before i put the grill on.

                            kristen- i did alittle, untill i killed the 3 rough sandpaper attachments i had. then just hand sanded the rest. im not that worryed about it, when i get rims i'll re-done them. my rims right now hardly show them anyway.

                            Atreus21 - they're very much re-moveable, and its the smarter thing to do. but then you have to bleed the brakes again, undo bolts ect.


                            thanks for the comment everyone.

                              i just took the calipers off as if i was chaning my breaks and just let it sit on my rotor.
