RaulG Custom Painted Red Calipers

Over the weekend Raul hooked up my G with some custom painted calipers. I was on the fence about going with Black or Red, but as you can see, i went with the Red. As soon as i get a chance ill take some shots with the wheels on...but for now..you can check out the prep. I have to admit..these came out real sweet! Thanks Raul!

Headlights next??

Dude ... This just makes your car look even sicker! I'm glad you decided to go red. (not that we gave you an option JK)

Thanks Kev! Im stoked on them! They came out real clean. If you guys hadn't stuck with the Red, i may have ended up with black.

Now im debating on what im going to do with the headlights now that the calipers are done.

Great look bro, sorry I couldn't make it on Sunday. Headlights make a huge difference to your front end and of course... Raul is the man.

Thanks homie! Notice that ARK peeking out in the 2nd pic! haha

I didnt ask him about the interior trim. Although it will be something i tackle in the future.

I think whats next is the IPL rear. It looked so fresh on G-Lovers ride...that i think i have to get it now.

Brakes came out clean! Are the decals done with stickers? Or did he use a stencil to get that painted on there?

I dont know what kind of paint Raul used. He could probably help you with that one.

Wow that came out nice! Definitely need to look at getting mine done somewhere when I see how they can look. Wish I were closer to Raul (well for many reasons in that my car would not be in storage right now as well )!

But Raul, you just spray them on the car?! What is involved to negate any chance of overspray? I would be terrified of that. Obviously it saves time but man... I don't think I could ever chance it... And does that mean the backside is not completely sprayed? Maybe I am missing something.

What type of drilled/slotted rotors are those OP? Looks great!
