SO my brother and I finally got around to painting the brake calipers on the Dark Knight II..... get the front end up in my garage, looking around underneath... and discover there must have been an employee on the assembly line that day with a sense of humor!
Left me a message on the oil pan!

 

Some pics during painting.....

 

one set finished

Then this past weekend, I got my Xenon decals on there....

 

Driver side

 

Someone else had a heart drawn on theirs a few weeks ago. Some people at the assembly line are having a good time!

 

Nice calipers

I might do mine in red (whenever it gets here)

Someone recently posted a pic of their oilpan with
a valentine heart on it...(sir echo, sir echo lol)

 

Roll her outside......

 

Turned out really nice. Great job!

 

Profile......

(boy I love this thing in BLACK... )

 

Looks sharp!


What paint did you use?

 

Looks Good!!

 

Looks great. Did you use a special high temp paint?

 

The G2 Brake Caliper Paintsystem kit - few other folks on here have used it as well. Very easy.

 

You can order it lots of different places - here it is on Tirerack.....

Duplicolor makes one too i saw on Two Guys Garage

 

Those calipers look sweet!!!
I may have to do that.

Thanks for the pics, I ordered that exact car.
Should be here next month.

Nothing meaner looking than a black car.

 

I picked up the red dupli-colour from our Canadian Tire dept. store.
Was $20 Canadian.
BUT!!! i was told by a custom painter that Regular car paint would do the same job.
In a way he has a point. Leave your car in the baking sun and take the metals temp. I'm sure if the paint can withstand the suns baking heat, it will do the same for the caliper.

N E ways, Great job Dave
