Gosh dangit! No fair stealing my blue calipers! Now my crappy stock pretty blue is going to look like crap next to your pretty BREMBO blue lol. Looks very nice man.
did you paint the calipers with a spray can? i really like that color.
Yupp, i think it came out pretty damn well for a spray can. Duplicolor engine enamal (ceramic stuff) for the primer and clear, the color coats were with duplicolor metalspecks blue.
Prep and patience was key though. Sanded them down with like 600 grit, then wipe down with denatured alcohol. 2 coats of primer with an hour between. Let the primer cure for 72 hours. 2 coats of color with an hour between. Let the color cure for 72 hours. Then 2 coats of clear with an hour between. Let that sit for 7 days before applying decals and installing. The finish came out super hard from the ample curing time. Took about 2 weeks in the making, but i thought it was well worth the result.

I hope it holds up well for you after all that work. I took my time and the first time I had to take the calipers off I got chips in the duplicolor. I broke down and am getting powder coating done as I type this.

Yeah I was thinking that also, I guess Ill see how they do. For the $25 in paint though i figured it was worth a shot even if it only lasts a year or so. If they start chipping though Ill likely just go the same route and get the powdercoated

that was the metalspecks? it looks good. can i get a close up shot showing the specks/flakes?
Yeah lemme dig through my camera as i took a bunch more, and there must be some closer ones on there somewhere. I really like how the color came out by the way, in the sun the metallic looks awesome.
Edit...
Found some pictures from closer up, lemme know if you want some closer ones or something and Ill snap them this weekend...
