Cool Aluminum Calipers.

Just the color. lol Paint is good to 1200 F. The color on the can says aluminum. I think it goes well with Titanium. RX 8 decals going on em soon.

I tried silver paint but it came out extremely watery, good to see you had better luck than I with it.

How many coats did you use? When I painted mine red, the first two coats went on thick, but I could still see some grit (like I can see on your photo above). After 5 coats, the caliapers were almost perfectly smooth, and the only imperfections were from my brush strokes.

Do more! It'll look great.

However my paint came from a can, I'm not sure how thick the spray paint is, and if it will smooth out the calipers.
