brake caliper painting..
 
allright i have 3 days off in a row this week after 7 straight work days. so im gonna paint my brake calipers!! now i got some silver caliper paint at autozone today.. but i was also thinking blue.. what do you think? the exterior theme of my car is blacked out with the galaxy silver. but all my interior lights and some exterior lights are blue.. what do you think. blue or silver? no red or black.

Since you're already highlighting with blue, I'd use blue on the calipers. Silver might vanish since the body is silver. The blue would stand out more and match your existing theme.

The blue would look sharp with the silver !!!!

i say blue too, what kit are you using?

Blue, I think silver would look like you didn't even do anything under there.

I definately think I'm in the minority here, but I actually prefer the red with a Monte or Chevy badge:cool:.... The blue would be cool and match the decor, however I think Red screams raw performance... Just a thought... Good luck and post pics of your choice, I'm sure either way it will look awsome...:D

While i was watching paint dry i figured id polish and clean the wheels inside and out.. considering i had them off the car and it makes it 10x easier.
