Default Right now I am paintig my calipers

This morning I went to Advance Auto Parts with daddy and I bought 2 cans of "High Temp Underhood Paint". Good enough for my calipers. It is good up to 500 degrees but the guy at the counter said its good up to around 550 and even then it wont hurt it.I got BLUE to match my neons and a few parts of my interior which is BLUE. I just got one caliper painted with a light coat. Looks good but it has to dry. I am also scrubbing the inside of my rims.Dirty. Checked over my brake hoses, shox, and everything looks nice. Wiped some grit and grease off and it looks alot cleaner. Well I gotta go clean my rim then re-apply another coat of the paint.

One note...C3-Starship**, please do keep a close eye on this thread so no negative comments and arguings will arrise. I just wanted to share this new cheap mod. I had them painted Red and it was so bland looking and the red turned black from being so old and dirty. I took some sand paper and a drill with a wire brush tip and scrubbed it down, rinsed, did it again, rinsed, wiped it down with brake cleaner, let that dry, wiped it down again, and then applyed my paint. Seems to be curing well. Ill be back in a bit to check and see what new is going on here. Peasce.[8D]

Hey Black, What? No fireworks?

That's ok. We Just bought a house in a new community by the lake and the firework display here sucked the odor out of my odor-eaters[:'(]

I put on a display a coupla years ago that whould have put the city to shame

Seriously, 2" shells and everything.The POlice said I set off car alarms a mile away

Ahh, the good old days...

Hope everyone had a really nice AND safe 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just put some new rotors and pads on my 95, so while i was in there i figured i would buy some paint and paint the calipers... i went with red (black car with chrome c6 style wheels)... looks fantastic... the kit i bought was 17 bucks, and it was not a spray on, you painted it on with a brush, which meant no over spray and less taping... ill try and post up some pics
