Default Weekend Project, 944 Painted Brake Calipers

Hey Guys, thought I would share some pics, I just started painting my brake calipers. I have seen where people have taken them off, but I wanted to try without that hassle of removing them. I think they came out pretty nice, just did a little bit of taping and 4 coats of red brake caliper paint, really look nice with my Koni shocks. Now just need to do the other three :O

Looks nice! Seriously considered doing this when I rebuilt the rear calipers last weekend, but with cookie cutters, it's not like you can see much of the calipers once they're installed anyhow. If you've got a more open-style wheel, painted calipers can look really sharp.

Default Wheel pics

I am in the process of changing out the rims and tires, so I will post some pics showing the brakes with the new wheel setup shortly.

thanks
