DIY painted calipers + Pro powder coated wheels + Mustang decals

ESilver · Jul 26, 2021

Here is where I ended with my calipers (painted myself) and rims (stock but powder coated gloss black). Thanks to Simon Tse for the decals (to go with the license plate plugs and charge port protector).

I was thinking about going "Bad Robot" but I could not find the eyes.

I can't believe how much the wheel and caliper paint improves the look of this car in person.

Looks great. What product did you use to paint the calipers? I'm considering G2.

I'm also conflicted as to paint those circles or not

Yes I used G2 and was very impressed.

I don't think you can go wrong on the circles. Either way looks great.

Looks great!

Looks great, I like leaving the circles unpainted, it makes it look more "intentional" somehow... I'm about to do mine in blue!

I showed my wife a vehicle with painted calipers the other day, mentioned how the GT has them, and she said "not on my car".

Looks great. Where can I purchase the decals from?

A guy named Simon Tse on Facebook. I think he may be on here too. He is the one selling the license plate plugs and the charge port door protector.

Me too. If those circles are bare aluminum, they will corrode in a salt environment. I was going to try and paint them Silver and the caliper's the contracting color.

I am going to paint them with a clear coat. It is ordered so once it is done I will let you know how it turns out.

I drive in one pedal mode, so I'm gonna leave my calipers stock. I like the feel of not using them, so I don't want to draw attention to them. Maybe I'll paint the back side of my "go" pedal red

I'm also considering blue... would love to see pics when you're done.

Here you go! The paint was easy to use, but it left more ripples than I would have wanted (difficult to get it to self-level), and the blue is fairly dark. That said, I like it for some understated color.

Looks great IMO. Pops off the dark body paint. Womdering if I can get some feedback on what color to do my calipers. I have the iced silver blue color. Aqua color, teal, black or yellow sre on the table.
