Well my rims took a beating over winter, so i decided to redo them and add some more clearcoat this time. And also i sprayed my calipers black, which i'll admit, look alot better

black calipers rock. i want to do that to my 300zx
looks good!
have u ever painted ur calipers before and when u changed the brakes got brake fluid on it and the paint came off?What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

looks great man
yep, my rims also took their one and only beating this last winter...road salt and rock debris 0wned them
did you just use aircraft stripper to remove the paint? What was the easiest/ cleanest method?
and what kind of paint did you use for your calipers? Looks nice man
also a little OT, but if I paint my calipers, what color do you guys think would match my car? black or red? I think black might not look good on my car and red would kinda match my taillights a bit...not sure though
thxComment

oops sorry man i forgot to answer your question!
Well believe it or not the rims were so beat, there wasn't much coating left. So i took a 600grade sand paper and sanded it all down until it was all smooth...there was still some gun metal left.Comment
