GT/CS Painted Brake Calipers
Hey I'm interested in painting my brake calipers on my white GT/CS.
Show me some pictures of how yours painted calipers look and the best way to paint them.
Also some paint recommendations would be good.
Thanks

I have some pictures with my calipers painted red to give you an idea. I used the G2 2-part epoxy paint. Painted by hand. Just took my time......

I want you to know nm3, I'm jealous of those razors-wheels......Absolutely, the sickest wheels for a mustang. I've got the same vehicle and on down the road, I want those same wheels, remove the black cs/gt stripes and go with the shelby gt's silver lemans stripes. (I would add a matching silver cs/gt stripe down low on the rocker panels.)
Anyway, love your car!

However with my car being WHITE I thinking the complete caliper will need to be painted.
Anyone feel any different on the amount of the calipher to paint red with a white car?
I ordered some G2 2-part epoxy paint so I will be ready to paint in the near future.
Thanks for all your help.

Moved to exterior mods section since this is not a mod specific to the GT/CS. You will find that there are also other topics regarding which paint people use, how it holds up, etc.

Here is what you want to use. Make sure you do about 4 coats per caliper

Yes there certainly is. Put the car up and jackstand and start at one wheel apply teh first coat move the the next and keep going around until you have the 4 coats. Looking in the jar of paint you will think there is no way but it goes on very well.
