Painted my '05 calipers.pics inside

I have a DG '05 and b/c we have no Brembos, I figured I'd ditch the BBK and just paint them up with the G2 paint kit. I love the look and recommend it to anyone...especially if you have those '05 wheels that really show off the calipers. Hopefully these imagestation pics work. Let me know if they don't...

if you have the pics on your computer, you can upload the pics onto your post using the "manage attachment" button/feature towards the bottom of the webpage when you're posting.

They look sweeeet! I like the look, nice job. How long did it take you to mask & paint? How many coats of paint? Thanks.

compared to the brembos those look like CRAP....it looks like what a civic owner would do...i would take it off and leave it the way it was.....but that's my opinion..if you like it Rock on with it...

It took me a total of like 3 hours (but that included changing out to the Philips 6000K bulb, fog light, clearance bulb which I decided to do since I had the wheel off). Also, I only had one jack so I had to do one wheel at a time and then jack up each corner. I only put 2 coats but that second coat was liberally applied. There was actually enough paint for like 3 or 4 complete coats.


Here are several more pics. I tried to give you guys multiple angles.
