Thought I should add a little pizazz to the car by painting the caliper's went with the colour red, bought it From Autozone for around 18 pesos.

Took about an hour per wheel added 4 coats to each,Not very fun using the stock jack but in the end very happy with the results.

My wife helped me out on it(thanks hun).

Also I think I might have gained about 20 horsies at the wheels,haha! :Banana01:

here are some pics for ur viewing pleasure.

Man, those look great!!!! What paint kit did you use? I assume it is the heat tolerant paint that they sell for calipers. How difficult was it to do. I just might have to build up the courage to do mine myself!

I bought the duplicolor kit came with everything ya need paint,caliper cleaner,masking tape,stir stick,and brush(I would recommend using a diff brush than the one with the kit the bristle's kept falling off and sticking to the paint so I tossed it after one caliper coat),Just make sure ya clean the caliper very well and you mask where you don't want paint, yeah the paint is heat tolerant. Not too dificult at all.
