OCDetails Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Have you read this thread yet? I photoshopped some different colors on calipers that might help. I would just stick with black on stock calipers. They aren't anything special that you need to be drawing attention to. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Legacy05 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I used the Duplicolor on my car .. I have been happy with the results so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfaxe Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I had my calipers painted with dog urine. The neighbor's pooch was only too glad to help. Seems whenever I go out to pick up my morning paper, man's best friend is watering another tire. I thought about hooking up the rim and ground to some 220 from the electric dryer outlet. Anyone ever try this? With the springtime dew I would think the results would be (touches thumb and ring finger together) shocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meathead Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Sprinkle a lil chili powder where he stands to launch his stream and then watch him lick it off his paws...oh yeah baby. Some pet owners are as inconsiderate as dog owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
