A couple of weeks ago I was driving to a Sunday morning car show and hit a huge bump in the road (man made by the paving company with no warning sign).
I had Custom Caliper Covers GT/CS on and when I hit the bump, the cover broke loose and threw it out onto the street. I went on to the show and decided it was time to paint the Calipers instead of the covers.
I ordered paint and it came from Amazon before the next weekend, I hadn't driven the car since that Sunday and the following Friday when I took the front tire and rim off I discovered the rim was TOAST!
Off to Discount Tire to order a new rim. Since I had to wait a few days(Thanksgiving Holiday) I went ahead and painted the Calipers on the Front. I put back the original rims so I could drive it.
Finally new rim came and the finished product looks great!
I'll do the back calipers in a few weeks when I get some time off, each paint job takes 3 to 4 hours, if you take your time(prep, several coats of primer, letting it dry, several coats of red, letting it dry, apply sticker, several coats of Clear.
