Here's my arrival blue calipers, they are still drying so I'll try to get more pics tomorrow. I think it looks pretty good. I'm not a good painter so bare with me. I just painted them by hand with a brush.






updated pics also the engine bay too!! Don't flame me on the vinyl, my friends did this enough already!











Thanks for looking guys and gals!

 

badass!! where did you get the cobalt decal from?

 

Badass x2, Looks real good

 

thanks guys, glad u likey!

bought them on ebay, they are high temp so they shouldn't melt.

 

looks sweet..and yeah those decals?

 

Looks good. Nice touch with the lettering

 

Looks good!

 

looks good. what paint did you use??

 

looks good buddy

i like the decals i was thinking to do the same thing but idk

 

Had some arrival blue paint made at parts source. They took the code from my car made be spray bomb and the extra they put in a can for me, that's what i used for the calipers.

 

Is that paint for high temps? If not you may have some problems. It well peel off in no time. Looks good now though. Need some more pics though.

 

if you could get sum1 to drive next to you so they can take a pic when your driving. i wanna see if you can see the Cobalt decal when driving.

 

It's just normal auto paint. I'm aware it could peel. I'm hoping for the best.
Thanks for the input. I'll try to get a few more pics tomorrow but it looks real pretty for now!

 

Paint peeling easy off a caliper is an old wives tale. Regular old paint works just fine, has for years and years and years. They never had high heat ceramic paint back in the day, we just used regular old spray paint. i color matched mine with regular old paint and so far no issues.

They look great, and they should for a long time to come as long as you preped the surface before you painted them.

BTW whats the lettering made out of?

 

That looks awesome as hell, I wish I could do that!

 

Good to hear. Yes I prepped the surface as well. Also lettering is high heat vinyl made specially for calipers or high heat applications of coarse. Got them on ebay.
