Well, about 3 weks ago, i got my calipers painted to a settled silver, to match that of the G37, kinda. Had my girlfriend paint them i thought she would be better since she has a steadier hand. opinions are welcomed, now for pics

BEFORE







AFTER
First coat

Car on Jacks ...... SCARY

Second Coat

Third coat, notice the glare


Scariest part was car on car jacks
, it was pretty easy though, to my very honest opinion, i think she/me did a great job on it, i know it might not match the quality of a paint shop, but hey u get what u payed for , so im very happy.



EDIT*** - will post pics tommorow after washing car :P

 

Wow, those look like brand new (justoutofthebox) calipers. While you were
at it did you notice the rust on your hubs? The whole job would have looked
much better had you masked off everything and given them a few shots of
semi-gloss black spray paint....nice job! Next time you decide to
jack up your car read the manual, I'm not surprised you were nervous that's
the wrong area to jack up your G35!

nice looks good....but seems like alot of work...

 

oo god i jacked up the wrong place- sorry, ya i should of done what u said hhahah but thanks for ur comment, appreciated, i touched a few parts of the rotors with the paint , but itll come off but ya i did notice the rust on the hub, forgot to buy steel wool

thanks again

 

its was ok , took only 7 hours , gotta pre-plan it says on the box.

 

Could we get more pics from the side with the wheels on?!

 

will do that tomorow after washing the G . forgot about those ,duhhh

 

i wanted to do the same thing but that seems like it would take 4 ever?! 7 hours daaaaaam! bet the GF was loving you 7 hour operation!!!!! lol

 

mine:







The Infiniti stickers didn't last too long.

 

I painted mine with the caliper off the car (errrrr hanging from the car) while I was changing the brake pads. I used a wire brush before I painted them to get rid of all the dirt and crap caked on them. I used a can of hi-temp paint from Duplicolor, worked great.

 

nice and clean!

 

shiet, just show me up why dont ya, but ya, i should of cleaned them a bit more before painting them
but it still turned out great, my calipers dont have the surface area as urs , i was going to do the decals , but too small , so F*** it

great job though

 

Very subtle. They look nice and clean now.

 

hahaha, I was actually hesitant on posting my pics but someone asked for a side view w/ wheels so I did it. If I could go back I wouldn't have done the stickers though. There was a thread here a while back where someone did it so I figured what the hell, it was only $7 shipped I think.

 

same here , it was Siouxfalls g35 , he gave me the idea, im glad i didnt do it bc of what happend to you , so it just peeled off well you did a great job, HOME MADE FTW !
