What kind of red paint would you recommend to paint the calipers??? I know this is not logical but is there somewhere to buy them already painted red? If anybody has a write up or how to for doin this could you please post it...thanks.

Any high temp paint will do. You can buy them at any autoparts store such as pepboys, autozone, napa, etc.

I just painted mine red the other day. You can either take off the whole calipers or leave them on and brush them on.

You could always but another set and have them powdercoated. A few folks did this when they went to the 300Z conversion. Expensive way to go but looks great.

You could take them off and paint but just be sure to bleed the system after. Easy way is to paint on place but be sure to tape off the area you don't want paint on.

check out G2 caliper paint...you can find it online...it's a brush-on paint that goes on alot thicker than spraypaint, you don't have to mask anything, and it looks great..like a powdercoat almost....I've done mine in black but they make Red as well
