Paint Brake Calipers
I am taking the car in to get new tires put on it. Does it cost much to get the brake calipers painted. and Can I use the car right after painting the calipers, meaning do I have to wait for the paint to dry? I dont know squat about the braking system.

Depending on what color you're looking at doing you could just buy regular old high heat paint from autozone for like $5. I helped my brother do white on his calipers like this and looks good. IMO, save yourself some $$$.

I've got a black 2k3 Max SE and I've been thinking about getting my calipers painted gold. What does everyone think about that combo in terms of looks? Sorry about jumpin in on the thread like this...

If I could find some high-temp gold paint, I would re-do mine. Mine are red right now, and I think it looks good, but the gold would be pretty hot!
