I was woundering if anyone with a red cobalt had there calipers painted red. I would like to see this. Thanks

 

i wanna see this too

 

Here are mine. I will have new pics for you soon. These are from when my car was stock.

Keep an eye on the 2-tone Cobalt thread that will pop up tonight. Muhaha.

 

I cant wait to see.....What paint kit did you use? How many coats? and how long did you let it sit before you drove it? Also, do you know how long you have to wait to wash your car?

Here is what mine look like

 

I used duplicolor ceramic brake caliper paint. I did 2 coats. I let it sit for about 12 hours.
I think the box said 24 hours but that's a little much.

I'm sure you can even go less than 12 hours.

As far as washing it. I would wait 24 hours to be safe since that's what the box says. Wallmart or any auto parts store carries this paint. Good luck with it. Cleaning the calipers 100% is the key to a nice caliper paint job.

Nice wheels and calipers BTW nybull05.

 

nybull05, yours looks good. As well as yours CTCOBALTSSS. I actualy got the Duplicolor kit. I just didnt know how many coats to do or how long to let it sit. because its the weekend when i can do it and i dont know if i could go 24 hours without drivin my car. I think im gonna do it tomorrow morning and let it sit for the day. But you can put the wheels back on to let it dry right?

 

No waiting...post em now. lol I wanna see the 2-tone! j/k

 

Look in his gallery. It look sick as hell so far even though the hood aint painted. I think thats his car.

 

Oh yeah you can put your wheels back on. I put mine on a 1/2 hr. after paint.

I hear you man. I have been waiting 2 weeks for this day.

 

Damn, you know your car inspirers me to get that 2-tone paint job. its gonna look so sick. I cant wait either.

 

if i got someone to powdercoat my calipers red, would it be just as durable and not chip off?

 

Oh yeah bro that would be the way to go if you can. Powdercoat is very durable, more than the ceramic paint.

Thanks CobaltSS[303]

 

give me a sec. let me go take a picture....





Hope that helps.

 

i like the hood striper.....can u post more pic plz

 

Here is a side shot of mine...I used the duplicolor brake caliper kit where you brush it on.



This was right after I painted them and took the pics in the garage, lighting is kind of weird. The calipers match the paint really good.

 

sure man, let me go take a couple real fast....

Here ya go...

 

thanks, it looks awsome

 

thanks a lot man.

 

The front...

The rear...

The money shot...

Done with GM color match spray paint 9 months and 12,000 miles ago.

 

lol @ money shot.

 

Yea, i definetly think im going to do this. I love how it looks. Thanks for all the posts. All the rides look good. O and CTCOBALTSSS your two tone paint is sick.

 

Yeah that is a money shot man love the view of the ocean, lake or what ever that is but yeah that is a money shot of the water.


No the car does look good JACKY

 

What percent is that tint you got man?? It looks good!

 

Thanks man, it's 35%. When I first put it on, it seemed lighter than it is now. Maybe the sun has something to do with darkening it up? Haha
