Here are a few pics of the after look!!
Tell me what you think... should I paint the whole thing?? or is like that fine??

It looks good... my opinion

this is a nice picture of my tc.

How bright of a red did you use? Looks a little dull but it's probably just the shadows.

I like the second pic. You should consider submitting that for the 2006 calendar.

The red is kindda bright, is due to the shadow, that makes it look like that.. and where do I submit the picture, for the calendar?? Thanks for the comments.

Auxillary tanks and tC? Interesting.

Looks cool. I'm thinking about painting mine too, but not sure what color would go well with a BSP. Any ideas? White maybe?

lilfreak, check the "announcements" section of the forum for the calendar stuff.

I think red calipers with the white tC looks sharp.

did u spray them on or did u have to paint them on with a brush? i have seen them both in stores just wondering.

lilfreak2k · Mar 31, 2005

I Used the Brushed kit. Is easier, doesnt really require taping, but you just have to be carefull not to drip, and also put like 2 to 3 coats of it...

wolo · Mar 31, 2005

You mean the Duplicolor kit?

nY1018 · Mar 31, 2005

i still wouldnt paint my calipers unless i got a BBK. just me.......once agaiin.

lilfreak2k · Mar 31, 2005

Yes, the Duplicolor kit.... I think thats what it was!

Zoltiz and basilisk4 both used the silver kit on their cars, and I thought it looked great on the BSP and FM. I ordered my kit a couple weeks ago and hope to get mine painted this weekend.

I just painted the cailpers on my BSP red. What do ya think? I like Zoltiz's silver, but I wanted something a little more visible.

I like it... it looks pretty cool.

pharoh · Apr 3, 2005

Looks sharp. I'm thinking about doing red on my FM. What do you guys think?

Also, where did everybody order their kits from?

EyeOnScion · Apr 3, 2005

whoever is thinking of painting their calipers, dont do it.. you'll regret it..

wolo · Apr 3, 2005

Why's that?

captjack · Apr 4, 2005

I got the G2 kit on eBay. The seller was hubcaps_plus.

It was an easy job. I'm wondering what EyeOnScion's warning is about.

wolo · Apr 4, 2005

I know plenty of people who have painted theirs (including me).

No regrets so far.
