Well, i just finished rotating, and painting my two left side calipers...looks pretty good, i'll post some pics once the sun comes back out here in utah. I got some Ruby Red spray paint, high temp etc, and my car is a rosewood, so its pretty tight, lemme know what u guys think when i get a pic up on here!

Can't wait to see the pics...I can't decide on what colors to paint my calipers that would look good w/ rosewood.

I just finished painting my calipers red. I hate it doesn't match the car at all,I am looking forward to seeing your pic. I need another color choice other that what I've been able to find in high temp paint(black,silver,and red).

I still haven't paint my calipers yet. I'm going with blue instead of red. My car is black, but I have 18" rims that have blue center caps. So, that's more of a match.

Very nice. Good job. I noticed that you didn't paint the brake pads itself. Did you paint them with a paint brush? While I'm on the subject, is it okay to paint the pads? They won't stick, would they?

1. the color of the paint was Ruby Red, hightemp from Autozone, or something like that
2. Yep,hand painted, 4.5 hours later + 3 coats, it looks good to me =)
3. I really think its a good mathc, i only iwsh my car was cleaner!! I think i will put 1 more coat on in a month or to, and finish it off wiht some clear Gloss..just put a coat or 2 of that on and it will be perfect
4. You can paint almost the whole thing but the rotor, i personally thought that painting it the way i did would make it look better, but its all just preference!
