    Red painted calipers on silver 300C

    I finally got around to painting the calipers on my 300C. After putting on the SRT wheels, it really showed off the crappy looking stock calipers, so something had to be done. I'm very happy with the result:

    Those look great!

    I hope mine look as good, when I get around to painting them.

    What was the temp when you painted the calipers?
    It looks like 2012 will be very good indeed.
    Unless the Mayans are right, then, well, never mind.

    The ambient temp was around 82F when I started, and 70F when I finished... As it got dark, the humidity went up, and it made a noticeable difference with the paint drying time. It kept it at a 'gummy' state for a lot longer.

    Thanks.

    It doesn't look like I'll be doing this soon, with temps in the 100s.
