well it all started out with me doing my calipers on my SW tC just plane ol' Black.
that didnt work too well cause it was barely noticable. so here is was i did today.
i wanted to make it accent the car a lil more and stay with my color schyme of BLACK and WHITE (panda). now i havent seen ANYONE try this 2 tone caliper. i would imagine it would be cool on a RS1.0 with Red and Black aswell.

and NO the car is not being supported by that buck under the car.

so check it out let me know what you think...i think it looks great durring the day. ill get some more shots later.

 

looks good...i wanna do the same but in like red or blue....maybe silver..my tc is silver so i dunno what u think..and what kid of paint did u use.....i wanna know how you did it if you dont mind telling me...

 

if you can match the SSM color it would look good with the Silver/Black like mine...

well the black was done with the brush on paint that you can get from that little Caliper paint kit at Discount Auto or Advanced Auto.

the white i had to get in a spray. i got Duplicolor 500Deg. Engine enamel. Universal White. that is pretty much the exact same paint as the brush on. they are both 500Deg. paints with Ceramic in the paint. just 1 is spray.(they dont make the white in paint on.)

to do the spray take the Caliper and brake pads off and all. much safer. PM me if u got more questions, be glad to help ya out.

 

well at least we know WHY no one has done it haha! Make it all white it will look 1000x better.

 

I agree one solid color looks way better. I just got finished painting mine red.

 

ill get full vehicle shots tomorrow. the Black 5% tinted windows and the lowered ride...look better than just that pic of the wheel.

 

oh my my friend just painted them without taking them off. But you did the right thing

 

I don't know if anyone notice but, is his car being held up by that bucket? ahhaha. You really need to invest on a jack stand.

 

Have fun keeping them clean, brake dust will be a real beotch!

 

I'm gonna paint mine's red as well... it looks great How much did you pay for your rims j dawg?

 

ew, that black part looks painted like poo

 

I paid 1250 shipped for the rims and tires from wheelsdirectonline.com

 

yeah...that white is gonna get filthy as hell..LIKE YO MOMMA...sorry couldnt resist. Thats not directed at any body...just can resist the opportunity for a good momma joke

 

Yeah that's really pretty dangerous.

Contrary to popular belief, plastic water buckets were not designed to hold up 600-700 lbs of force.

 

looks good, i did that also but i spray mines blue

 

jdawg those are the wheels i wanted to get for mine can you send me or post a picture of the wheels on the car?

 

No! I am the only one who can have these wheels on my tc hahaha. j/k Here are the pics http://public.fotki.com/jdawg82/

 

1st post... hehe.. that would be crazy though it was on the bucket... haha..

 

So with white calipers, they show brakedust real easy don't they?

And for the dude holding up his car with the bucket (which is a great idea may I add...NOT), it would have tought him a lesson if the bucket collapsed and would have caused some real damage.

 

Read the post again.

It says clearly in his post that the car is not being held up by a bucket
