sxd45 · 06-04-2008, 09:41 PM

Looks sharp man, I need more time off from work so I can do stuff to my truck.

DerekM · 06-04-2008, 09:53 PM

powder coated?

CJ_Stewart11 · 06-04-2008, 09:55 PM

looks great! i was thinking of doing that when I had my wheels off this weekend, but can't decide on a color. may just be plain and do black to match wheels and truck color.

sxd45 · 06-04-2008, 09:56 PM

Caliper paint.

TexBiker · 06-04-2008, 10:04 PM

Nice work. I did the same, but went with red calipers. But then, all my vehicles have red calipers...guess I'm boring that way.

I likey! Did that on my 5.0 Mustang many, many years ago (half show car/half racer) in purple to match car graphics. Looked good too.

Never thought of doing it on my Tundra... Good idea!

how did you paint the center piece? did you just take it all off? looks good.

INeverLose · 06-05-2008, 01:05 AM

Did I need a special kind of paint to do this??????

johns · 06-05-2008, 06:21 AM

Yes, you want to use caliper paint. It's a high-temp paint that won't bubble or peel when the brakes get hot. You can find it at any auto parts shop.

I prefer the brush-on paints -vs- the spray paint. Easier to be neat...and I don't like to paint the pads.

Toxarch · 06-05-2008, 02:00 PM

Looks like they turned out really well.

Mickey,

I see you have the Borla XS Duals. Is that the one you can get from the Toyota parts dealership. I spoke with them yesterday, and they said they had the TRD and the Borla. The Borla was more expensive. You tubing both I think I like the louder sound of the Borla, but I really like the looks of the TRD. How are you liking the exhaust?

Nice you seen to have done all these mods but don't up grade the wheels !
