As the title reads, I painted my calipers today with the kit from autozone. I wasn't sure whether to paint the carriers or not, but I figured why not. It was really easy to do! The first two pics are before.

Yes I spray-painted my wheels black (a few months back).. I'm trying to decide if I'd like to get them powdercoated or leave them as is (flat black) OR if I should repaint them, but make them glossy black. Ideas?

I'm happy to hear praise/criticisms.

 

Looks good man, I'm gonna be doing that next spring I think (not having a garage sucks *****). What all was in this kit you mentioned?

As far as the wheels, I think gloss black would look awesome, as long as it doesn't clash with your paint. know what i mean?

 

i think you need to lower it and repaint the wheels black, screw paying to get them powder coated they are stock wheels save the money and buy some nice 17s or 18s. other than that it looks good!

and for the dude that asked about the kit. just buy a can of high temp. paint it works the same but is cheaper.

this is how i did mine, just make sure you tape off all the important parts:





old wheels ^^

 

Pirate, I like the look of the Merc wheels on your car in the sig, but the old ones were dope as hell. First time I've seen gold on calipers - I like it

 

i like the flat black. red calipers are too played for me. i did mine silver.

 

nice I'll probably do this next time I change my brake pads!

 

thanks man. i still have them. i am saving them for my B5 avant....preferably in pearl or black. i just have to talk my wife into selling our maxima!

 

Your tires look a little flat.

 

whose? if you are talking about mine. i did have a slow leak in the particular tire. its patched now. i don't even run those wheels anymore.

 

AGREED! they look really good on the B5. Did you have any fitment issues? Or did they simply bolt right on?
