So today I finally painted them.
Purchased the Duplicor Caliper Paint Kit from Canadian Tire for $25
Took off both front tires, taped em up, and painted multiple coats throughout the day. I just put the front tires back on.

Here's what I did so far
I'll post a full shot tomorrow when she is out of the garage!

I see alot of red in the pictures, the calipers, body, paint can and finger nails.

Other than that, looks great.

[Hschlick84]

Lol. The kit comes w/ a paint brush ... that way you don't have to take the calipers off

I bought the kit at Canadian Tire for $24.99. I only saw red, but I know people who have purchased Silver.
It is by "DUPLICOLOR" and it is a caliper paint kit. It comes w/ the cleaner, tape, brush, and can of paint. It was very easy to do. I would check your local parts store, or even Wal-mart might have it.

alrighty thanks

I took a few shots today. I didn't have time to wash her yet, when I do I will take better pictures. Here are some side shots for now

You seriously seriously need some tyre shine happening on that rubber love!

Clean car and grey/brown treads just let it down :S

Calipers are looking FINE though!

 

[iluvmyVersa08]

LoL! Yes I know. The car is actually dirty. Drove it about 200 kms today for an exam that I had in Scarborough (near Toronto). I usually put tire shine on, just wanted to take a pic while the weather was somewhat decent ... it's raining once again Hopefully tomorrow, if it's nice I'll be able to wash her and finish waxing her. Then I'll take some new pics

 

[iluvmyVersa08]

Okay, I washed her this morning. Here are some new pics

 

[Hschlick84]

Is it always cloudy there? I barely see any hard shadows or blue skies.

 

[iluvmyVersa08]

Lol. Well we have not really had a summer here. We had one week of very hot weather (30 degrees each day) and by the end of that week we had a huge storm (with Tornados in some areas). Now it is like fall weather.
So yes, generally this summer has been either cloudy or raining. Not much fun But good time to wash the car when the sun is not out.

 

[iluvmyVersa08]

P.S. Right after washing and drying my Versa, it rained and she was still outside ...
So after the rain stopped I had to go back outside and redry her, and then park her in the garage! LOL!
