New look for my brake calipers
 
Hi all,
I cleaned up the look of the stock brake calipers a little by adding some G2 brake caliper paint (2-part epoxy paint) in blue. I like the little touch of blue the Volvo logo has against the silver so I decided to go with blue.

Here's the before:

here's the back:

The red is from the flash I think...

I already ordered some slotted rotors with holes to replace the front and back. That is another project...

I was happy the way they came out although I did get a little crazy with the brush. I found the Volvo logo brake caliper stickers from a guy off of eBay. Hoping to get the rotors replaced soon to complete the look and function as they are looking a little suspect in the back.

Looks really good.

Hi all, thanks for the compliments. I think it looks pretty good. Funny things, the guy on ebay who sells them ripped my picture from this forum... the id is stickerculture. Have not had any issues with them ripping, tearing or wearing out. Hope that helps.

Were did you get the "VOLVO" label? Will it withstand the enviroment around the wheel, not peel off?
