LOL. I had just finished painting my calipers as well, gold in colour actually (cause red is for Brembo's! LOL). Quite an easy job, but I masked up the front of the brake pads etc. and rubbers so it looks as if the calipers were painted removed from the vehicle. I must admit they look a treat through the rims now! :Reverend:

Simon, posting whilst under the influence is not safe. You should lose your licence for that sorta behaviour.

So thats how you paint calipers. Julie always does those arty farty things for me. Which is good, because I always come out with more paint on me, than what I'm suppossed to be painting. Looks good. Well done

lol , Daniel , don't take the comment the wrong way about looking like fatty off NRL footy show ! ;) , i actually see it as big advantage for/to you ! - your that close to a spitting image that you could goto places like the Casino etc etc and say you are him and get free drinks etc , honestly ! - take advantage of it ! ..hehehe , cheers mate .
