Brake Caliper Painting

[hawk02]

I used the Duplicolor caliper paint kit and 1 can of the matching spray for the brackets while they were off.

That is really funny you say that because I feel exactly the same way. Certain things I've done like drilled rotors, decals on the calipers, removing the giant Ram head on the tailgate, adding an iPod adapter to the stereo, Viper wheel centers, the list goes on and on... I think Dodge could have done lots more.

I need to add a ipod adapter, what are you using for this.

I need to add a ipod adapter, what are you using for this.

Since the '06 has the newer CANBUS system, and I have the OEM navigation, I used the iSimple ISCH73 iPod adapter which both charges and plays my 3rd Gen iPod Touch through the VES1 input (I think it's borrowing what would have been headliner mounted DVD player channel). It's a simple plug-and-play device, no wire splicing at all. I also added a PAC Audio C2A-CHY plug-and-play external amplifier adapter. It offers a remote turn-on lead and RCA pre-outs which I used for my replacement subwoofer amp. Again, no wire splicing at all, just plug it up and go! I highly recommend both products.

Looks Great!

I should get around to painting my calipers this summer.

I want to put decals on my calipers but I want just the SRT-10 logo... Can't seem to find any big enough

Totally awesome, I ordered some stickers off Amazon [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Viper-SRT-10-wheel-decals-stickers/dp/B00AGLOCXE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_auto_1/178-0318452-8159761]6 x Viper SRT-10 wheel decals stickers die cut vinyl : Amazon.com : Automotive[/ame] Hope the link works!

I ordered silver (you can choose from several colors) and made for the viper calipers. I can't wait to jump in and get the calipers prepped, painted, and decals put on. Thanks for the great ideas here.:rock:

I have those, they're actually made for the wheel spoke on a viper wheel such as ours. I looked at the one's I still have and im not sure they will fit properly, just the srt10 part of it may though. I have the black on my oe wheels and silver under the hood.

Thanks, They are over a lil more than 4" and less than 1" tall. I didn't measure the calipers but they were some of the smallest I could find. If they don't work I'll keep looking till I find some that will. The links the guys left at the beginning of the thread don't work any longer or the problem would be solved.

Looks good. They must be durable to be made for the wheels.

I found the right decals for the brake calipers. I just typed in "viper brake caliper decals" in to google and it was the first link. $5.75 free shipping.

I found some high gloss red extreme heat paint and clear-coat at the auto parts store. Each can was abt $7.00 each.

I completed my front driver side but ran out of daylight to complete all the wheels. I will take some pics in the daylight and post them soon as I get the rest of the calipers completed.
BTW, it really looks great :rock:

More details means more costs.
