My $6, spur of the moment mod

[Kamauxx]

Got bored, didn't feel like installing the tranny cooler, so I spent 4 hours doing this instead:





Sucks that I just finished it and I have to wait until morning to see what it looks like.

Ha, I was actually in the process of fixing it, I was wondering what was going on.

Thanks for the compliment, still have to find some lettering for them though.

Afterthoughtsauto.com one of our site sponsors has the lettering

Thanks, Y2K, I'll make sure to check them out.

*edit* They only have chrome letter kits for the calipers, you know of any place I can find black letter kits?

ah cool I like it. ? I've been wanting to do this to mine. what paint system did you use? Also the other peice of the caliper that was left silver how would that look painted also? I don't want to make mine look stupid....

I just got some 1200 degree duplicolor from O Reileys. Don't remember the brand. Only cost 5.89 though. It's pretty time consuming because I did 6 light coats on each caliper, waiting appx. 15-20 minutes between each coat, AND I only have 2 jack stands and no ramp.

Here's a pic from ls1howto of how the other part looks painted a different color. Not sure how it would look all the same color though. Try it out and post pics!

was the paint spray on ?

[Kamauxx]

Yes. But sprayed from a distance to keep down dripping and such. Just needs a lot of coats that way.
