repainting brake calipers black...want opinions
The blue paint on my brake calipers are fading real bad. I was thinking of repainting the calipers black to match my rims. In case you didn't know, I got my Tantrums powercoated in a shade called Sinister Black. I also painted the Konig caps on that go onto the rims black, so they matched up nicely. Since I'm doing an all black theme, I thought it would be a nice to having matching black calipers. What do you think? I need to do that plus shine my tires up a bit to match. Any special product I can use to clean the tires or just regular soap and water? I already have a tire shine product, I just need to thoroughly clean the tires first. Thanks.

Cumalot, yeah you can just use regular car wash soap and water to clean the tires. If you want a folitec caliper kit I'm the guy who's been running the group deal for them. Just let me know if you're interested.

Cumalot, I tried sending you a private message today but it said it couldn't because you had too many emails. Anyways, you can send me the payment through paypal to this address: arondavid@sympatico.ca
Thanks,
