I've used the duplicolor kit before, worked well. I really want some of these 8 piston vette brakes but I'm still on the edge about grinding the face of the caliper down so it doesn't say corvette...or just painting them all black. I guess it'd be chill if the truck made 600whp. I say get the duplicolor kit and dial them up in blue, should look nice esp behind some new wheels

I agree......they are BO'd on all the 6 lug Lorenzo's I like so gotta keep myself busy until the come in

My Durango was about the same color as your Kon. for kicks I tried one red and one a lighter blue. I actually liked the red, really stood out, but my wife hated it so I went with the blue. It was a lighter blue, about the same as in your flames. I think if you can get a close match to the light blue in your flames it would look sweet.

yea, with the variation of blues, I think the blue will fit better than the red...so ordered blue kit today...

I just painted my calipers last weekend. I opted to go w/ G2 Caliper Paint as it holds up better than the Dupli-color. G2 is a little more money but it's definitely worth every penny. I did my calipers on my Tahoe & TBSS (w/ Dupli-color in Black) and had to do them again within 2 years. The black was re-done w/ Dupli-color paint.

Here's a few pics of the different colors I've used.

I'll post up the G2 in Blue, once I can find a pic of my car.

Gotta get me a kit, that was the next step for me.

I wonder if the black and silver will mix, I'd like mine in steel gray.

Someone in the nnbs section posted an eBay link to some caliper covers. They eliminate the need to paint calipers. I'm going to pick up a set soon.
