translucent purple calipers HELP
 
1 Attachment(s)
Looking to put translucent purple calipers on my white 2011 370Z. This is what I'd like the color to look like but I'm lost on where to begin to achieve this color. I live in Virginia if that helps for anyone that may know of a place in my state otherwise who knows of some DIY paint? Got a friend who will help me once I track down the color.

Thanks!

What rotors are installed bro?

Mike is the man!

I appreciate the kind words, but I'm no longer accepting new customers :(

Since upgrading to captain at my airline, powdercoating vs flying is no longer economically viable. I am keeping the business open for the shops and previous customers that I have done work for so I can continue writing off my Cayenne and racecar, but I'm burned out after 10 years of working 28-31 days per month.

To the OP, I don't think you can acheive that DIY. Either need to go to a body shop or a powdercoater.

Zbrah they are DBA 2 piece 5000 series rotors. I installed them a few weeks back and love them! They also make a 1 piece if two isn't your thing. Hit up RavSpec if you're interested in a set.

I'm at around 18 now, but I should be at 14-15. when I was a senior copilot on the 737, it was 10-12 days of flying, so I had lots of time for the other job.

Thanks Kenchan!

It's nice to know some guys (Mike and Rusty) in the business are eating the carrot at the end of the stick. I left Part 121 in 2008 to go corporate, work about 10-15 days (3-4 overnights) a month. My paycheck will never be as big as yours though. Congratulations on the upgrade. It's unfortunate you don't accept new customers as I was hoping to do this someday.

Good LAWDY that's some serious seat time! I'm about 350/yr. I'd be burned out too. Is that military?
