Calipers Done

Ughh, I'm a trooper...it's 20 degrees out, snowing, and I wrapped up at about midnight. No garage, so everything was done out in the driveway. The place I bought the wheels from "painted" my rotors and calipers and did a **** poor job so I decided to do it the right way (so you may see the rotors as a lighter red color). I used a wire brush on all of four, then put 3 coats of primer on each of the calipers, with about 9-10 layers of high-heat caliper paint.

It'll be interesting to see how well these hold up to the snow, break dust, and other elements.

PS: Sorry for the ugly looking car...it's been sucking up muddy salt the last week straight, haven't had a chance to wash it yet.

Haha, damnit...I thought I WAS the only one with them. What'd you pay for the rims, and the tires (what kind of tires?) I got Kumho 245/45/18 with the ROH Black Ice RTs. They seemed a bit overpriced, so I just wanted to see what you got them for.

So you painted your calipers in 20 degree weather ? Not good...

The rotors have a light red from when the shop painted them. I didn't mask everything perfectly so the disks got a little splash of red on them, which burnt off on the drive home. As far as the wheel wells go, I didn't touch them...they came painted red (I assume stock, I doubt the previous owner did this).
