Caliper Painting - 5/29/2007 5:21:32 PM    eaglecatcher Posts: 729 Joined: 12/4/2006 Status: offline I've got a Black 98 sixxer, and for my cheap summer project, I'm gonna paint the calipers.  I was thinkign about black, but then it wouldn't really be noticeable.  I'm possibly thinking of white or red calipers, with some black pony decals.  How do you guys think this will look?  Would red or white calipers look like crap, or would it be good looking if done right?  I'm also curious, where can I get caliper decals from, I can't find them anywhere. _____________________________ Black 98 Mustang V6 5MT Throttle Cable Tightened Lowered Wiper Arms Intake Silencer Removed Bumper Cutouts Removed Smoked Headlights and Corners K&N Air Filter Black Front Pony Post #: 1
