Re: Painted calipers, brent vinyls, and silverstars

and i put in some silverstars which the low beams(50 or 55 watts i think, i forgot the part #) didnt help that much more but the high beams(60 watts i believe) are ridiculously better, and yes it was an easy swap for my 96 i just took the old ones and and sealed the new ones in with silicone, heres a couple pics:



i have another set of high beams, brand new same bulbs as the pic, i want to sell, ill put them in the for sale section for 35 shipped

im putting silverstars in my fogs next because one of the bulbs is blown and i figured why not... let me know what you guys think

i also got some new pretty blue taylor plug wires also, ill have pics of how those turned out in a couple days, awsome performance from them also

Re: Painted calipers, brent vinyls, and silverstars

In order to actually see the calipers I would have painted them yellow or red. Black is the best color to hide them. Given the hours of work, I don't think that is the outcome U wanted.

Re: Painted calipers, brent vinyls, and silverstars

my theme for my car is black and chrome so thats why i painted them black they actually look WAY better than the old rusted out ones and the vinyls give them their pop, i also did the rear drums just black so i dont have to stare at the rust and they look better than new

i wouldnt have painted the drums at all if it were a different color but since theyre only black it doesnt look dumb at all like other colors would

I love the black calipers... I think red and such is a little much and kinda ricey (go ahead and bash me)

The black looks clean and the decals look great.

Re: Painted calipers, brent vinyls, and silverstars

nice pics bro, i painted my drums like i said i would, looks soowo much better than rust, u know what i mean. I painted my calipers red and now i'm just waiting to put some new wheels on (which shows much more of the brakes) so i'll be glad i did paint them. one question though, what paint did u use and how many coats? i used a 1200 degree flat black paint with ceramic and did 2-3 coats.

for the front i got the brush on brake kit and the back i did with the spray caliper paint, the front has about 5 a piece and the rears have about 4 a piece
