Just get caliper paint. That way you can use whatever color you want.

Ah, so would I be better off to just keep repainting them every few months?

I've just used the engine/caliper paint in auto zone, but there's a 30 dollar kit where there's a brush. Does that make a difference?

Yah, the brush kit puts on thicker coats. If you just spray a coat on then yah, you'll have to repaint every couple months. You get what you pay for. Buy the better paint kit and do at least 3-4 coats and you'll be fine.

Dont be a lazy ass. Caliper covers are wayy too expensive and tacky.
G2 caliper paint is supposedly some good ****. When I change my brakes next I plan on painting mine. No way you would have to repaint them that often if you did a good job cleaning them.

Why use covers? I just bought a set of GT500 Brembos from EBay for 500. Why pay a couple hundred bucks when you can buy the real thing? This is just my opinion but my friends call me Capt. Unnessecery.

I have some of the covers and they look great but I wouldnt recomend them to anyone because the dont fit worth a $hit! So how is putting covers on any different than painting them? you paint them to look better, you put covers on to make them look better, right so whats the differance?

Yeah caliper covers are just as rice on a mustang as they are on a civic.
Paint your calipers
The difference is the covers are made to look like you have big racing calipers. Which is the very definition of rice.

Ok back to my question.. Everyone is painting or putting covers on their brakes but if it's just am appearance deal why not just upgrade to GT500 or aftermarket brake kit. You get the appearance you want but you also get better braking. I mean I know the price is kind big but everyone puts big money in superchargers and headers but not brakes. If your gona go you gota woah!

Enough said. everyone knows they are just ill-fitting covers that do nothing for performance. I equate them to a fake intercooler or an "R" badge on.... well, anything.
well when i got mine it had the covers on it i dodnt like them so much so i took them off and painted them and i think it looks better to me covers look cheap and painted calipers at least show the time has been put it to make them look nice and do look nice i painted the two pieces different colors black and red and i think its a cool custom look
