shawnss Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 So i didnt have much going on today and i wanted to work on the SS so i painted the brakes. It took way to long but it turned out fair. Its the little detail. that really makes me like working on the truck. i plan on doing a big brake kit with in a year and im plaing on painting those calipers this way also. heres some picture let me know if its to much. i dont want to over do it.

shawnss Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I think it looks kickass. I wish I could find the time to do stuff like this to my ss Yeah me to. The sad thing is that i had to request friday off from both job just to have the time to paint them. I dont get to work on the truck much. I put in about 75hrs a week between both jobs. Suck but i have mod money now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

page305 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Looks BAD A$$! Any chance of a profile shot? Is that metallic paint, or the texture of the metal? Edited August 1, 2009 by page305 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 The paint is just a color matched paint arrival blue. I know some people say use high temp. but ive painted afew with color match and never had a problem. From start to finish i have about 7 hours in to them. but i did it right and cleaned them all and i put like 8 coats all together( primer, base coat silver, color match bluse and clear coat. sorry if anything is spelt wrong ive had alittle to mudch to drink.

shawnss Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 where did you get the color matched paint from... I get mine from car quest paint and refinishing center. I have heard you can get it at napa and i know you can get it from O'reillys paint center. it needs to be paint center. i live in montana so if i cant get it im sure you can. they just put it in a spray paint can for 20$.
