DSOM Painted Calipers
Im in the process of painting these so how do you guys like them so far?
I do a high temp base coat, followed by the DSOM paint followed by high temp clear. A friend did his this way and its held up for a few years now.
Oh and as for the C5 wheels, Im taking the CCWs to Daytona to have new rubber and the lips repolished, so Id rather have the car sitting on these rather than jackstands.

Ill add more pics when im done and have the CCWs back on the car.

Wow, so you paint them with DSOM spray paint and then high temp clear?
Has anyone else done this? How does it hold up?
Looks good by the way. How much was the can by the way? What did you do to prep it? Did you take out the pistons in the calipers?

Yes spray then clear, my friend did this to his and its held up fine for a few years now, I wouldnt suggest racing the car though. I left the calipers on the car and painted them, just take your time and mask off the areas, the key to a good paint job is prep work.
