Ok, so I'm going to be putting on my chrome Boulder H2's soon. I was considering painting my brake calipers red like I did on my Z28 which looks great. Would this look dumb on a truck? Opinions please! Thanks!

I'm thinking of doing that the next time I rotate my tires. Don't think I'm going to buy a kit. Just scuff, wipe down with laquer thinner and maybe a high heat gloss engine spray paint. I think It'll look awesome.

When I did my Z I just cleaned them, scuffed 'em up, and used some Duplicolor Hi-Temp Red Paint. I guess I'll give it a try. Can always paint 'em black if I don't like it.
