Just curious but why piant your calipers when their behind stock whhels? You can't see them unless you remove the wheel...??

PX Brotherhood

ill get a finished pic.

and why would i paint behind the stock wheel? because i was bored, and it looks a little better. hahaha it took me 7 hours lol. it was a really nice day, can u blame me?

i would have taken them off and painted them if i were you... then let them dry overnight so the paint will cure well.... maybe even put them in the oven for a bit so the paint would harden and wont flake off after a little wear and tear plus its easier to do it that way imo... looks good though

whose paint did you use?

PX Brotherhood

i thought i would just brake hard for a while to cure them. i never thought of baking them. good call, ill try it next time.

i used a base coat of the enamel and then coated it with the metal cast.

Hmm Me thinks the metal cast won't last very long.

I don't think that stuff is design for the heat the brakes will produce

now that i think of it, i thought i checked for a heat rating..... i just checked again and i didnt see one. but it is "heat resistant" lol. meh ill redo them in the spring when i get new wheels
