ya painted them white. wasnt too concerned with hitting everything. cut out the pony with an xacto knife on a sticker and painted blue over it. pulled it off and touched up with a paintbrush. it was pretty easy and im really pleased with how it came out.

I need to paint my calipers. Idk what color though. I'll probably end up painting them red. I'm assuming you guys take them off to paint them? lol
I had a buddy that painted them while they were still on the car.

I did... I used Duplicolor brush-on caliper paint kit... It's like $17-$18 @ kragen/autozone... Quick dry... Mine's been painted for about 3 years now... Still bright red, no sign of fading... But then again I clean my calipers too everytime I wash the car...

MRKsD3 · February 14th, 2011, 11:55 PM

^I meant painted the calipers without removing them from the car...

patsfan1000000 · February 14th, 2011, 11:59 PM

i took them off the rotor then masked everything off. and you dont need to spend money on those caliper painting kits. if you look at the bottles caliper paint is simply engine enamel. engine enamel just has more colors and costs more.

Come on dude, for the same result minus the time and energy saved from removing all 4 calipers... $17 is money well spent...

sc55509 · February 15th, 2011, 12:11 AM

OP what type of paint did you use I want to paint mine blue too

adryan · February 15th, 2011, 12:27 AM

^^ That is nice... and cost effective. No slotted cross-drilled calipers???

you can tape everything off with the calipers still on the car you know...?

so instead of $17 kit, you can buy a can of red engine enamel for $5

Lol that's cool... My point was it's easier to brush-on than to spray paint it... sure, $17 is a little more compared to $5 but oh well, it wasn't that heavy for me.

Btw, I used a high-heat caliper decal.... No stencils if any sort... I think about $12 online...
