Nice job billy. I'm still undecided as to what color I'm going to go with.
Does anyone know how well the AutoZone caliper paint holds up?

It's a stencil

beware the drive-thru carwash if you have painted calipers

For someone who said blue might look trashy....I don't think so, it depends on the color of the car.
Here's mine....and I would also recommend painting the dust shields black.
I just don't like the red with the Ti-gray, I just preffered blue.
