    Didn't see any other post about painted calipers on a Prime so here ya go. Cleaned with calipers with a wire brush then brake cleaner spray. Did not feel comfortable messing with removing the calipers so used plastic bags & painters tape. Make sure not to get any on moving parts, especially the pads or rotor. Remove tape & bags then let dry at least an hour but the longer then better before putting the wheels back on. Was also in the process of swapping to my summer rims so tried both wheels to see how it looked. 20200717_174136.jpeg 20200717_174131.jpeg 20200717_201612.jpeg 20200717_201735.jpeg 20200724_235624.jpeg

    Thanks. Had the window tint guy cut those for $20. Wish I did it myself as he left a cut mark on my headlight when he was tracing the pattern. Got a refund on my window tint & have since buffed it out.

    Please tell me what rims those are. They look so great!

    Also do you have stock suspension?
