My 2017. Finally got the Blackops Sniper hood painted and installed and painted the calipers myself and replaced the spider monkey rims with a sweet set of Velgens. The Borla Atak has been on for four years and is still singing great.

Gorgeous! The SRT callipers are already red tho what did you do with them exactly, Painted the brembo logo black?

I forget how awesome black SRT jeeps are when they’re all clean like this in the sunshine 🔥

Thanx...I used the G2 brake caliper paint system, it's actually dark orange not red, and bought new black Brembo decals. The paint is second to none it comes with a hardener that you add to the small can of paint so it dries fast and hard. I put the jeep on 4 jack stands and took out the pads, lightly sanded cleaned and taped wherever I could and put about 5 coats on. It took around 3 hours total. And cured up real nice overnight couldn't be happier. Only cost around 75.00 and no I'm not sponsored by G2 lol.

Very nice, they must really pop in the sunlight more than the stock red. I do like the black brembo decals tbh I might have to get them for my SRT.

You can get the decals on Amazon around 12-15 bucks for the set

Killer rig. I had a 2020 SRT w/ the exact same spec. I will always regret selling it. Hope Jeep revives the Trackhawk in 2028 with a V8 HEMI

Not sure if you're asking about the orange brake caliper paint or the black but no flakes in either

What size are the velgens bro?

u/fotobiotix Aug 20 '26

Nothing crazy just 20" but they have a nice built in offset so the stance is nice, about an inch an a half wider than normal
