Painted my calipers....

[DCSpecial]

Wanted to change it up from the stock red.

Initially the plan was to paint them blue. Ended up spraying six different shades of high temp blue and decided on one. Now, we were using a translucent color over a metallic silver base. Both are high temp rated to 500*. So we prep, clean and mask and my buddy starts spraying the silver base.

Well, we both agreed that it looked pretty good and went with the current color scheme that I have on the Jeep so we just did the metallic silver and used the black Brembo decals that I had purchased back in the spring.

Here's the pics:

That looks great! Your ride is so f-ing sweet! Nice job...I love the inverse you have going with the wheels and brakes (silver SRT on black wheels, black BREMBO on silver calipers) FTMFW

Thats a nice scheme bro. Your Jeeps looks clean! This reminds me i have to redo my calipers after taking off the paint with a high pressure hose. :o

[Dylans3960ccs]

looks good :thumbsup:

lol, is this because I called you out for not having color scheme brakes :D

[Denny boy]

now that looks really nice. i like color match calipers better than red or something. im going to do mine after this winter when i get new calipers and discs and pads.

[DCSpecial]

Thanks for the compliments :D

You pointing out them being red and not matching my color scheme did get the red to start bothering me again and made me want to paint them asap. The red bothered me before I bought it, then I didn't mind it, then it bothered me again :lol:

:eek: I should have taken a pics with the wheels off......especially since I had gone in the office to get my Brembo decals and had my camera right there, never grabbed it though.

[Scottina06]

they look great bro!

It does look amazing Dan.....really does...but I've always had a thing for red calipers...lol..

The silver does look crazy good tho....and it does flow nicely with the Bright Silver and Charcoal theme you got going on there!! :D Your SRT is drool worthy!

So u have fake brembo brakes?? just put the stickers on?? thats kinda like when i had a SRT-8 sticker on the back of my 5.9 and guys on here told me to take it off lol..Now they could be real brembo just tt u painted over logo so mayeb needed new ones??

[dreamer1213]

[DCSpecial]

Since I painted them Silver I needed to put the "Brembo" back on them. I opted for the decals.

LOL @ Bubba!!!

Is the lip on the bottom of the SRT bumper there for areodynamical purposes? or is it just a mold flaw?

[Martyp]

That looks great bro!

Always thought black rims on a silver car would look weird but dang, that is just plain HOT!!!! :thumbsup:

Not sure.....I think it's there so people can damage it in the snow/ice so that they have to buy a new one, :lol:

Thanks, actually the wheels aren't black, they are Charcoal Metallic :D

[dreamer1213]

I'm sure that "lip" on the bottom of the lip of the bumper has a reason to be there Dylan..

Remember that Dan's SRT8's are painted Charcoal Metallic, not black.... ;)

Edit: Sorry Dan...I was just about to type that about your wheels and you beat me to the post...lol!

[Scottina06]

the lip is there for the lower bumper support to bolt into. that just isnt a flat straight piece

Leave it to Scott to know the reason why. Your our Resident SRT bumper specialist. :D
