Ok, our rims are supposed to be here tomorrow or Wednesday so I wanted to paint the front calipers so they really stand out. I went to Autozone and purchased red caliper paint and brake cleaner for about $10. After about 2 hours, I finally completed them and I must admit they look awesome, IMO. The problem is I don't know how to post pictures in these forums. If I could send them to someones email then they could post them for me..PLEASE.. I know, I know, this thread is useless without pics...

 

Why do you want to show off your small stock calipers?

 

 

send em to me scionbb@gmail.com

 

I thought size only mattered with male genitalia.

 

And French Fries.

 

i think you mean Freedom Fries.

 

does that go for french poodles too?

Freedom Poodles??

 

Here are some pics for those who care. The stock calibers are ugly and anything is better than the stock color. B2FiNiTY, you dont need to look...As you stated, "Why do you want to show off your small stock calibers?" For everyone else, enjoy. Very easy and inexpensive to do.

 

I was thinking of painting mine too but I wasnt sure what color - what kind of rims are you getting? - looks good by the way.

 

I did mine, too. I think it makes them look great. I went with red on my TCM. Got the drums, too. One question... why didn't you go with yellow, seems like the obvious choice.

 

The rims are Konig Unknown from www.treadepot.com As far as doing yellow, I don't want to go to overboard with the yellow theme, heck the car is bright enough as it is. I aslo have red interior lighting and I am going to put red lighting in the engine bay. I thought about yellow but decided to go red. I will post pics when the rims get here, should be tomorrow

 

Cool. I do like the red, and yeah, thats a lot of yellow. Good call.

 

red on yellow is risky.. like ronald mcdonald colors. Black or yellow might be better. You did a real nice job though. Very proffesional.

 

IMO I don't think red on yellow is risky. Look at a yellow Corvette or Porsche, they will have red Brembo's.

 

Let him do what he wants. I remeber you saying stuff like this when i created the caliper tutorial. Either congragulate him or find out a more constructive question to ask; i.e. no rhetorical questions.
