I had my calipers and drums painted by a friend of mine. He owns an auto body shop so it turned out real nice. The color matches the Syclone decal. You are going to have to make sure you get ride of all the rust that is ready to come off. Sand it. Also, when doing the calipers. Make sure you tape up the rotor and steering parts very well. You don't want to have to take the unwanted paint off. It is just a precaution. I hope it turns out for ya.

Painted mine...worked great. Make sure you use a "high temp" paint. Good high temp paint like engine paint will work in normal cases....if your into extreme road racing and killing your brakes, you may need something that can stand hotter temps such as header paint.

I recently went another route with my brakes.... 8)

John,

Did you change your back drums for discs???? How much $$$ you paid for your brake setup??

Al Dunstan just finished putting together the complete front and rear Wilwood kits for our trucks. Mine was the expermental truck. Al is a perfectionist....did a lot of different fits and caliper styles as well as work for months with Wilwood to have things perfect. The guy is great!! He also installed his front and rear supension for me. 8)
