Did this the other weekend. I used the G2 paint, which I have to say came out very nice and glossy. It came in a small can and I thought there is no way there is enough paint in there! It turned out there was plenty, enough for 3 coats on each caliper.
Here are the pics :biggrin:

I also installed the spoiler last weekend. :cool:

Rear one before. (I forgot to get the after pics where I got the rust off with a dremel.)

Didn't really need all the tape when painting as the brush is very small and it's very easy to do.
Everything was taped up for when I sprayed brake cleaner so that the rubber hoses didn't get wet.

Thanks, wasn't sure if I wanted to go with Red since "everyone" does. Was thinking maybe yellow or something against the black, but I like the red.

Check out the G2 Caliper Paint website. http://www.g2usa.com

The paint is temperature rated for the specific application.

I would do it, but he Mrs. thinks is ugly. Even though our pathy has them painted black.
