Default Picture request: Chrome calipers!
I have searched the forums but with no luck for threads containing actual chromed caliper pics...

Any pics posted would be greatly appreciated!

I agree those calipers didn't quite have the bling factor that I am going for. They actually almost looked like they were painted silver. I'm going to have my powder coated chrome with red lettering in a few weeks and I'll post pics.

I don't think they powder coat on actual chrome do they? I thought it was a plating process?

Yes it's not going to be actual chrome, but it's going to look a lot better than the chrome in a can stuff.
