Default Painted Brake Calipers

I was wondering if anyone has painted their brake calipers. And if so, does anyone have pics? I think it looks very sporty in red, blue, or yellow. Thanks to those who reply. =)

Default Caliper Paint

Check out the link below for caliper paint. Once in the site, click on order catalog, then you will have an option to open a .PDF file and you can get some details on their caliper paint. Pretty expensive stuff but if you are going to do it, you won't want to skimp. Folia Tec is one of the better players in the caliper paint category...<ul><li><a href="http://www.foliatec.com/e/e_frame.html">Folia Tec</a></li></ul>

i painted my calipers myself. i got the laquer through LLtek. it was only about $40. the rest you can do yourself. sorry i don't have a digicam but i can tell you it looks great. lots of people have commented on them. the paint chips a little if you hit it with something but that shouldn't happen if they stay inside your wheels. i painted mine red on a silver A4 1.8t Avant. good luck
