Will look good as long as you pick the right color. I have seen some silver svts with it painted silver and black and both looked real good IMNO. Sorry dont have pics though. What ever you do dont put yellow on there.

Ford Light or Dark Blue looks best IMHO. Ask Eric L in the KC forums for a pic of his. Also, BNMotorsports is offering powder coating on them in many colors on an exchange basis- www.bnmotorsports.com Thanks

You mean stripping the surface or stripping them of all the parts before coating, Terry?

I was thinking red, not too bright...
I'm going to paint my strut brace red, get red wires, have a bit of a theme going...I'm only worried that the calipers will be too flashy, but with the EO wheels I think it will be OK

Brad and I can do red too. Check out the valve cover I did for myself on his page. One thing to ask- how long does regular caliper paint last? Versus powder coat, not very long. Hehe, don't mind me I'm just trying to make a sale here! LOL

the guy at the autopart store told me I could use engine enamel, its the stuff you paint a block with, I couldn't find any caliper paint, I know it will withstand the heat I'm just not sure about the abuse, but I think I'm gonna use it.
