mmmmm Red. Looks great. Why didn't you put tire shine on ? would i affect the paint?

The paint was less then 24hrs old didn't want to take the chance. :D

Ok, so how are people getting these "Bonneville" decals on? who sells them that small? Wouldn't the decals come off/discolor or burn from the high heat?

Looks good BTW ;) :twisted:

Deb:
Nice job on the calipers and the decals.

I have had mine on for over 8 months now with no problems.

the RED rocks

those look amazing... and im lovin the red!

looks great!
The red and silver really compliment each other

Lookin' awesome there Deb :thumbup:

:clap: Looking great! I really like the red. Stands out great and looks oh so sexy!

that really looks great through the rims, im loving it
I think i will do this when i get the new rims on, maybe some sloted rotors too

Wow, that looks amazing! What kind of paint did you use? Is that acrylic or spray paint? Where can that paint be found?

Why are you getting new rims? I love the ones that you already have.

I am sesourly thinking about paint my calipers on my car,buyt the same color as the body. I also want to paint top hat of the rotor to. Nice work like the lettering

lettering is what does it... im so gonna copy u :)

:lol: that's ok i copied singscountry when she did her's at NEBF... :)

those calipers look SOO HAWT!!! AMAZING, i think i need to do mine, but the laces hide the caliper... :cry:

Only thing to watch out for is that the pads still slide on the sliders. Some have painted them too much and now the sliders bind up.

You did a great job. If my GXP didnt come that way allready I would do that. I am going to paint my rusted rotors though.

Nice touch with the bonneville on the brakes....I would have wrote BREMBO on mine...... :lol:

I got mine at Canadian Tire

I picked up a caliper paint kit. However being 97...also have drums. There's plenty of paint to do the drums as well.

Another alternative is to get 500F degree engine paint in a spray can. That's how I quickly and easily painted up my drums.
