be sure to use paint that is going to be able to withstand the heat....regular paint will peel and flake off the calipers....it looks nasty too.

i have only seen and used spray on but they may have a pen or brush on clear just call a paint store on that one. but as far as i know i do not think you could spray clear on top of the dry factory clear. i may be wrong but yeah

What color are you wanting to paint yours? I'm thinking I want to get mine painted...maybe Victory Red or Rally Yellow. What do you guys think of either of those colors on my black balt? (I'm leaning more towards the yellow, just cause I think it'll make it pop)

i would plan on doing a color to match your interrior. like if you have the red inserts then have red calipers. i am keeping the blue theme with my entire car

ok i would like to see what everyone would think of this idea... since we seem be growing in numbers every day. for reference to the meets on the forum site and everyone in the area maybe we can make ourselves a "club." i think it would be cool to do this so we can have an official title to go by if we ever go to a show, or just to attract the attention of fellow balts, ect. we could figure out a decal/ sticker shop that would make windsheild decals for us. i would be willing to try and organize this also. my idea for a name is simply "So-Cal Cobalts"
so let me know what you guys think and if you have other name ideas

Haha, Ive been thinking about the same idea. Making a little club, it is entirely possible. We can get a signup list going at the meet. Like a full name/email list.

Well, I have black interior. No color inserts or anything. Was considering doing yellow door panel inserts (where the buttons are and whatever). And maybe where my stereo is...not sure yet.
