Painting brake calipers, or...?

[TonyNJ]

You're serious? I thought you were kidding!

A little bit of both. Life is an adventure. It would be a privilege and a pleasure.

Well, thank you Tony. My wheel and tire guy here talked me out of paying all that money and I might have him do it. I had to put the calipers on the back burner since I have too much going on with my Shelby as it is. Window tint, paint correction, ceramic coating PPF on the entire front end, new wheels and tires, steering wheel, resonator delete and few mor odds and ends. BUT, I'll keep your generous offer in mind, AND check in with me anytime you're in the neighborhood...

With all that going on...Don't forget to spend lots of time driving your car between the 101 and the 1. That's some beautiful country out there. I drove a motorcycle from Foster City to HMB... will never forget that.

Better not be changing your mind now. His wife already left him over the trip.

What’s the best source for the caliper decals?

Thinking about painting my brake calipers. Had an appointment to get it done, but it got delayed. Rather pricey. Anybody have an alternative ideas? DIY? Professionally painted? Any other ideas?

Painted them myself. No big deal.

If you like red, just go with the R calipers and save yourself alot of money.

Not sure what you mean, buying a set of calipers from a 350R would not be cheap...

The front pair are under $600 brand new. The rears will slightly less. So I guess it depends on what your definition of "not cheap" is.

But considering you can probably get a few hundred bux back selling your old calipers, I think you'll come out paying less money than painting your originals.

Are you saying the GT350(R) calipers will bolt onto a GT? I thought what they bolt to was different.

Definitely NOT find them at the prices you suggest. Provide a link if you have one...
