Yes. I will. I just gotta get the paint i want to use. If you want ill let you know when i will be doing it and you can come over to my house and well get urs painted as well..

Actually that is my next mod. Hopefully. Paint for the car. Will hit the engine cover, fuse box cover, intake, calipers. And probably whatever elze i can think off

You shouldn't make a mess if you remove the calipers from the car. If you are thinking about doing it any other way, I highly suggest that you don't.

well you see.. if i took them by myself... i would probably end out breaking them or something.... i have no experience in auto parts like taking apart and stuff
actually kinda sad.. but im learning!

Im going to use engine paint from duplicolor orange red. What color do u want??? Nooo way im using a brush paint to do this. I did before and it comes off when u spray ur car with water.. this time i will use real paint.. deciding if i need self etching primer or no.. just so it adheres better to the caliper. Then apply a coat of clear coat.. and good to go

hmm im not even sure.. probably a good idea to go with the self etching primer

Your car looks awesome man! From the pics it looks like the hood stripes match quite well with the side stripes but in person maybe not, IDK! Love the wheels and black outs, love the side stripes, maybe remove the factory Camaro emblem and leave blank or a flag or something not too big in it's place!

Definatley would look killer if you lowered, and I think the painted calipers would be a perfect mod! Very nice job overall!

As long as you like it thats all that matters, no matter what you do some will love it and some will hate it.. I think it looks good, but I would make a few changes. Since you asked, heres my opinion on what I would do.. I would get rid of the IOM stripes and go with black. You can never go wrong with black and white as your main color scheme. If you like the IOM I would use that as a accent color but dont over do it. Calipers IOM and maybe the bowties would be more subtle. IMO 3 different colors is to much when used in excess. Also the Camaro in the rear is huge.. Just my opinions.

Thank u. I like to hear different ideas. I am trying to get some bacl on the sides too to match the blackout panels.. as for the size of the camaro in the rear, i didnt want smll leter. I guess its a personal preference.
