My friend just bought a T-Red SVT. Did you have your calipers painted a body shop or did you do them yourself?
Thanks

Hey Jockey, where in Taunton do you live. As you can see from my profile, I live in Taunton as well. Right now, I live right off 44 just past the 99.

Jockey, welcome to the club!! Oh no another red, I liked being the only red at the meets!! j/k
I painted the calipers myself, I actually repainted them again the other day. It's real easy, all you do us scrub the calipers with a wire brush or some sand paper to knock off the corrosion, mask, tape, cover and wrap anything you don't wanted painted (rotor, suspension, wheel well). Then I did three dried layers of T-red, (which I had made up and put into a spray can for $12 at a local paint supply store) then I clear coated the calipers another 3 times to make them look glossy and to protect the color.
I wish I had a picture to post of them, I think the body colored calipers look very classy! I also did my rear STB in T-red and had the front grill trim ring painted body color, and I may do the real chrome strip, but I'm still contimplating that.
Let me know if you need any more info. Once again, welcome to the club!!
