I might paint them black for next season, white is too hard to keep clean.

Caleb's car almost looks like it has dark gunmetal calipers? The finish is real smooth, what was your process? Or is that a powdercoat?

Yeah, the color was supposed to be a nice dark metallic grey... ended up being almost green. It's Dupli-Color Engine Block paint and high-temp clear. I just sanded them down with 320 grit, and have about 5 coats of color, added the high-temp vinly logos, and then put about 4-5 coats of clear on.

I'm pretty pleased with how they came out.

I think those gold Brembos look great. I've really been thinking about painting mine gold on my TB, but I've got gold wheels, so I'd need to change those.

Good job.

Is there a step by step to painting these? Do you guys sand them down first?

I really like that house of kolor candy red - but I need something in a spray can. I imagine you have to use high temp paint and clear as well.
