So I finally got a free weekend and just finished painting my calipers. As soon as my wheels arrive, I'll be set to go now. I got raped with my clothes on by Discount Tire (I was told my wheels would arrive in 3 weeks, now I'm on the 3rd month). Here's some pics...Enjoy!

Might i recommend painting the backing plate red, or a black?

It would add alot to the look. I would post pics of my latest wagon project so you can see how much it adds to the look, but too lazy.

Good job :)

should spray the hubs while you're in there. it'll bug you later, as you'll be looking in there more now.

Can't tell that much, but the backing plate, hub, and caliper are bronze.
