Painted my Disc Brake calipers...Pics!

Hey guys....while my A arms are out getting soda blasted I have painted my ECE drop spindals in hammered silver and figured I'd paint the brake calipers to match, while I was at it. I ordered the DupliColor disc brake high temp paint and am very happy with the results...check it out, what do you think of these gliming behind a set of chrome rally wheels:

cool! A couple weeks ago, I went to Olds Rallye rims on the delta, and I decided that I had to do something with the nasty rusty brake parts. The rear drums are now machine grey (a really cool look behind all that chrome and gloss brown) and the front calipers are that same red. Really, a very cool look.

All that red should add about 10 horsepower :p . What is that green thing on your workbench with the buttons? The calipers do look awesome, I never knew there was such a thing as caliper paint.

The green thing with all the buttons is a RCBS digital powder charge dispenser. You tell it how much powder to drop and it automatically dispenses it into the digital scale that is sitting right next to it. Really a slick way to drink beer and make bullets, LOL!!
