Chrome or Powder Chrome Calipers
I am thinking of doing my calipers in chrome or powder chrome along with chrome rotor hats. Please post pics of your similar setup to help me make my decision. I have thin spokes and think they will show this setup off very well.
Also, is it possible to powder coat just the hub part of the rotor rather than using the hats?
Thanks

You can also have the hats on your rotors powder coated. I had them done in silver on my TrailBlazer SS and they turned out great. Good luck.

GB, I've got the same rotors.... I didn't even think of stripping the anodize and polishing them...
Looks like an addition to the never-ending project.

Check out the chrome paint at http://www.alsacorp.com/products/kil...llerchrome.htm . Can purchase a spray can kit for $115, which includes base coat, chrome paint, and clear coat, which costs far less than actually chroming them, or even powder coating. Check out the vids on the site; absolutely amazing stuff and super easy to apply. You can chrome virtually anything with this stuff, from metals to plastic. I plan on doing my entire car in their "ghost chrome" product in the next few weeks.
