Winter Project
This year, I plan to RE-Paint my calipers. Black of course.
I think this time I'll add some clear for durability and shiny-ness.
What do you all think? Clear or no clear???

I think you should just get them powdercoated and not worry about it again.

Ive got a winter project planned too, but its a on a larger scale, and Im still not sure if its going to happen.

I painted mine, came out very good, however I am planning to to have them powdercoated. It's just better.
