It looks good, where did you get the Camaro decals for the calipers. I plan on doing something similar with an LS1 brake setup I have sitting around in my basement.

I got my decals from Brent, check out his website www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/vinyl.htm

Here's a picture of the decals on mine Front Calipers

Re: Eradi's and painted calipers-DONE- PICS

you can get those decals at from a guy on this site I think it http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/vinyl.htm he is the cheapest around. Did you take your calipers off to paint them. If so did you have to bleed your abs box or just the bleeder valve on the caliper?

Re: Eradi's and painted calipers-DONE- PICS

z06z28...gotta say thanks. i tried to PM you, but your box was full. thanks for the help.

mook...i was replacing the brakes lines also, so i had to take them off. if you do not want to do that...full dis-assemble the calipers..take off the caliper guide, removed pads, and take out the chatter plates (removal of the rotor may help too) then use a wire hanger and hang the caliper so it doesnt put weight on the brake line. then just prep and paint. although, i thihnk you would get a better job if you took everything off.

as for me...i just got it all on. i havent tried to bleed the system yet. im hoping i dont have to bleed the abs box. so i am just going to try to bleed at all of the valves. if not...then yes, i am gonna have to bleed the abs. it just depends on how dry the system got. i had all the lines open for a week.

i see you converted to the LS1 setup. did you sand down and paint the rest of the underside as well? ls1speed.com has a great price on those rotors.

Re: Eradi's and painted calipers-DONE- PICS

I didnt sand everything down, just that line that the decal was supposed to go over. They are painted inside and out because i had them removed to paint them.

EDIT: No i didnt paint the k-member, just the new parts that i put on.

Re: Eradi's and painted calipers-DONE- PICS

Man..those are nice pics..maybe it will motivate me to get my LS1 upgrade started. I've had painted calipers, Eradispeed rotors, and Earl SS lines just sitting in my garage for a few months now. On late nights, I actually hear them whisper "install me" as I pass by them...could be the beers talking, though.
