Custom painted calipers

After seeing some other members calipers redone by "the man", I picked a color and started the process with him. First of all he is super responsive and willing to go the extra mile. Finally he took my color idea and came up with a custom blend that is even better than what I wanted. Jared is just a plain good guy.





Starting point #1





#2





Stripping started





First shot baked





See the pearl starting to pop





Prior to stencil and 2k





First stencil.





2 down 2 to go. Can't wait to get them installed.

They look great! I got my calipers back from Jarad about a month ago. They are flawless...

That's the view I'm looking forward too . With turbo twist they may be a little bit hidden but should stand out.

You may do blue, but it won't be a copy as this is a custom blended color

The twists are only temporary on my car, though I do think their color makes the calipers really stand out. Are you twists OEM silver?

Yes. Std silver. Should pop with the blue.
