Painted Calipers & Tint
Well i just got my car off the jacks and tested the brakes. I painted the wheel hubs black and the calipers blue.
Before I started with the calipers, I got tinted, 20% all around, head lights, tail lights, and fogs. The head lights and fogs are Optic Blue.
And now the calipers/wheel hub:
Masked the area of the rotor that the brake bad touches.

The blue looks great, almost a match to WB. Does it have metallic flake?

Yea I know, but I actually enjoyed taking the brakes apart. Thank god I bought a bar of Lava soap.

Headlights and fogs are Optic Blue. All tints are from Llumar. They offer a 5 year warranty on their tint. I had mine professionally installed by Shades of Gray.
IMO they are the best if not one of the best tinters in south east PA.
Here is another Optic Blue.
