Wow - that looks amazing rajun. How long did it take you to do the whole job?
It took about an hour or so to grind the cast marks off. But the thing that takes the most time is taping off then allowing the epoxy to harden.

I'm a fan of black painted stock calipers. It makes them look much cleaner looking. I think if you go with other colors like red, its nice, but it makes it almost look like a fake BBK.

We all want the big brake look without spending big bucks. I just did my calipers with a product for Eastwood.com. It is a 2 part urethane with self leveling properties. Really high quality, very high gloss and good for 900 degs F. I didn't grind my caliper but the self leveling really smoothed them out. They look really good with the Power Slot Cryo rotors I installed at the same time. One kit will do all 4 calipers easily for $39.00. Pick a color that contrast with your body,wheel and rotor combination. You wouldn't spend the time to paint them if you didn't want them to be seen!
