Painted the calipers today

[wikkid]

6 coats of duplicol; paint and some Viper decals. I think it looks much better then the 03-grey that dodge put on the 03's

Looks very good. Nice DIY project.

Looks real clean! Definitely agree about the non painted '03 calipers!

Looks good. I got RJ Salvages to powdercoat mine for $300 for the same reasons...that dull gray was nasty!

I'm not trying to be a smartazz, but did you get GenI logo's on purpose?

Looks great.

Where did you get the decals from and are they rated to stand up to the heat?

No they messed up the order, and i figured i would go with it. I was kinda bummed out when i opened the package up.

They look very good. Do you mean Duplicolor that comes in a spray can?

Are the 04's red and fit the 03?

Oh and BTW, now that you are done with the calipers, it is time to tackle that window regulator.

No this was the paint brush. Dash bulb is next, then the dreaded door fix. Just a hint if anyone buys this kit, go get a good 1" brush. The brush duplicolor includes started losing bristles that were sticking in the paint.

Wikkid, I am still interested in knowing more about the paint. I did not know Duplicolor did non spray containers of paint. Where did you buy the can? Did you choose a high temp version?

 

[wikkid]

Yes high temp temp made for calipers, i will try to fing the sight.

Thanks for the additional links. What research did you do to conclude this was better than the Duplicolor choice above?
