Painted My Calipers and Hubs
This was my Saturday project. I decided my calipers needed to be dressed up a bit. I was also tired of looking at my rusty hubs...a little G2 brushable caliper paint ...and problem solved!
I decided to go with black for the calipers, so I ended up with a fairly understated OEM look. I used silver on the hubs. DIY here. Front Rear Hub Wheels mounted

Thanks! I thought about silver for the calipers also...I think that would have looked good as well. This was quite a bit of work, but worth it!

Looks fantastic. I've used G2 caliber paint on a number of cars already with great success.

Thanks. Red could be cool, it may be hard match the reds though. You can request a color swatch to help make a determination. The G2 website also says they will make custom colors, they just need the paint code, it does cost extra though at $100-$130. Black, on the other hand, would be a sure thing. Good luck.

Perfect. I am going to be painting my calipers black this weekend aswell. I think it looks so clean in black and very OEM.
