Painted inside of Exhaust and Calipers

Well, i was getting the truck ready for the show 2morrow, and so far i have spend 15 hours working on it. Found 2 suprises yesterday- 1. somebody spilled icecream in the truck and tried to clean it up and hide it (got it mostly up, wasn't too bad, just need some carpet cleaner to make sure, but i'm still p!ssed!!!) and 2- found a rip in the drivers seat. At least i'll get a new seat cover out of that one. LoL. ANyway, today i pulled the rims to polish them up and i decided to repaint the calipers. Before i did it with a flat silver engine paint, but it looked gray, so this time i used gloss silver rustoleum and it looks alot better, but hard to see in the pic. But i'm still not totally happy with it, so i'm going to redo them again later and keep mostly silver, and add some red to like the bracket or something.

The calipers are hard to see the difference in, unless you see it in person, but i also painted the inside of my exhaust tips. They were starting to get rusty on the inside, and i couldn't stop it, so i sanded down the inside and painted it with gloss silver rustoleum. I'll try to find a pic later of what it looked like before, but here's after. Looks exactly how they did when it was new!



And lastly, here's a pic of the svt stickers on my springs. Its pretty cool that they put a svt sticker on them

exhuast tips

Tips look real good... Did you spray on the rustoleum or brush it on?

Thanks, i used a foam brush. Just make sure if you do it, you paint back REALLY far, because you will be able to look down the pipe further.
