While swapping the Michi PS4 for winter wheels and rubber today, I thought I'd see how my DIY caliper repaint is holding up. After carefully inspecting, I can only find one rock chip on one front caliper, and nothing on the rear :beer:

The Bullitt is now ready for winter fun : we've already received more than 12" of snow, with more coming next weekend.

Awesome, they look great. I finally broke down took all four off, ripped the seals out and had them powder coated. Hope to never deal with it again.

Curious as to how/why you settled on that colour for the DHG car?

It's Audi Nardo Gray. Although I'm red/green color blind, the stock red calipers looked like baby #$*@ to me, and the Nardo doesn't scream "Merry Christmas". They look great with black wheels,, but almost used the yellow Porsche uses on their calipers. Anything but red on a green car!

I agree about the red and was thinking a dark bronze would look good against the green even though you cant see it. cheers

I think dark bronze calipers would look great on both DHG and black Bullitts !!
