Now if someone goes to the trouble of peaking through the slots in my Rally's they may think I have Brembos in there!

Looks great! 
I'm going to do red calipers on mine when I change from rally wheels to Torque Thrust D's in a few years.

I think they look good! Not much chance of seeing them through either stock wheel, though.

Barry

Dave................looks HOT!

Great look, Barry I think you would be surprised how much they do show. I used an Eastwood kit on my Burb. Did the hubs in a black, and the calipers gold. They came out great and its pretty simple.

Thank guys! I hope they do show a little bit - my interior is red! I used VHT caliper paint - still have to bake 'em for 1 hour at 200 degrees. Think I'm going to use the gas grill - I don't think mama wants calipers in her oven!

I also used the Eastwood kit. You brush it on. I really didn't like the results. It had brush marks that didn't level out. I took (cleaned) everything back down to bare metal. Then used VHT caliper spray paint. It's good for 900 Degrees F. Here is the good part...........when momma wasn't around I cured the calipers in her oven.... (200 degrees F. for 20 minutes). Mommas kind of get (lets say) un-happy about these things............though! I still have some bruises if you care to see them...... I'm wondering if they'll ever heal.................

For smaller items like this, you can get a cheapo toaster oven pretty cheap, and leave it in da ge-raj. Might be able to only do one side at a time, but, it's worth it to keeps Mama happy, eh? Right fellers? Right?

Mamma says that I NOW can use her oven ANYTIME I want................................as long as it's in the garage and she has a NEW one in the kitchen.............WOMEN!!!.........they're never happy................... (except for ebowoman.............I wonder what he's do-in!) Oh and by the way, I did wire the calipers to hang from the baking racks to not leave any telltale marks on the calipers or the bake racks. Again................the only telltale marks that were left was........................ON MY body parts................women just don't get it................!
