Those look real good, and I think the color matches pretty good. Nice job on getting the R/T logo on them.

I've used G2 caliper paint on a couple other german vehicles I have had over the yrs. Cheaper and the stuff looks amazing and last forever. Anybody on here ever use that or do most go only with the covers?

I've painted and powder coated with my previous vehicles and they both lasted years. Prep is the key. Both are cheaper solutions and look better in my opinion.

I actually want to see the calipers, not hide them. My 0.02.

I second the Prep. I have used G3 and is good yes, hard as rock, doesn't chip and even in new England winters very little deterioration in a couple years. I used the Duplicor spray caliper paint and its very close. It sticks but didn't stay quite as glossy and perfect as the G3. I also bought a quart of brush on red enamel from the local ACE hardware and its just about the same.

G3



One Year Later



ACE Quart.



One year later.



Duplicolor Spray very easy.

with 22" wheels the calipers look to small, that is why I went with the covers IMO
