Painted calipers today

Been wanting to do this since I got my HHR so today was the day. Took all but an hour. I like the look. I may do the drums later after summer.

Looks good !!!

Are you using jackstands as well as the tire jack ?

When I did mine I also painted black areas of inner fenders that undercoating missed & were left white. Stuff like that drives me crazy.. LOL

Heres a shot of my rear drums painted Chrysler Red

Yes I did use jack stands. The reason you do not see it is I had the tire back on and forgot to take a photo of the finished caliper. So I jacked the car back up pulled the tire and, took the photo and reinstalled the tire. I like that Chrysler red. Stands out, great job.

F-16C- thanks man...

I think anyone can have the coolest rims, but until the brakes are painted it just doesn't look finished imo..
