Default Finally got around to painting my calipers last weekend.
Prior owner had them painted red which I wasn't really fond of. The fronts looked horrible since the paint was dull and chipped and the red rears made them aprrear even smaller & screamed "hey I painted my calipers!"

I used the Dupli-Color caliper paint (Pep Boys for $15) which is a brush on method similar to G2. Did 3 coats of black, applied decal, & added 3 coats of clear. Pretty happy w/ the results. The pics are kinda crappy but you get the idea.

Thanks to Milipitas 2.7 for the decals! Thesse are the ones sold by golfrsi which are near unobtanium.
