Painted my calipers! RED!
 
I went and bought the brush paint kit from AutoZone Wednesday and finally got around to getting it on the jackstands to paint. It was very easy and didn't take but about an hour and a half to do it properly. I plan on putting it back on the jackstands later next weekand giving it another coat so it'll be right, but here's what it looks like now:

Good job, Brent. I had considered that for mine, but the calipers just don't show enough for me to justify the work.:D
BTW, how do you like the BFG LongTrail tires?

Looks better than I thought red would look. I have contemplated doing this for a while, but it seems like it would be a lot of work for something I may end up not liking. I was thinking of doing them in black or silver though, just to make them look a little better and protect them, not necessarily for show.

I like the long trail radials pretty good, but if I were to buy another set, I would get the Michelin's.The ride quality of the Long Trails aren't much better than thefactory GY Wranglers after you wear them for a while.

Lenny, your calipers would look good in red. It would match your paint.

I was actually gonna do it when I do my next brake job, but I can't wear out those ceramic pads! I've had them on for two years now and they still look brand new.

Thats a good thing, means you don't have to spend the money on them

looks good i really need to do the same thing because you can see my brakes really well with my wheels and i have 4 wheel disc so it would take a lil longer, too cold right now though so maybe in a few months
