I'm thinking about going with the plasti-dip route on my aero kit grille. It has started to fade and I figured plasti-dip would be a cheaper alternative to replacing the entire grille.

Yeah, I was looking into buying a whole new grille, just because I wanted a black one. I was also looking at front and rear bumper kits cuz I really don't like the chrome bezels! But then we discovered plasti-dip

So I painted my calipers Saturday. I have to say...I'm in love with my color choice. My husband is very impressed with how good it looks as well

Pontiac Blue Dupli-Color spray paint, ordered from Amazon (cuz I was too lazy to call O'Reilly or Autozone if they had it lol).




You can see them from far away, and in the dark

I'll get a full body picture soon!

I was just thinking about painting my MINI's calipers, being that they look kinda ratty. 6 years in Alaska can do that to a vehicle, I suppose. Nice job!

New 3rd brake light! The old one was cracked down the center. $85 on eBay for this LED one, since I couldn't find a stock one for less than $100 :/
Took me 10 minutes
