I did mine in red caliper paint as well.

1) was them in water and dish soap.
2) use a brake caliper cleaner solution. (Yes, they exist usually comes in spray can form)
3) sand them using light sand paper
4) repeat wash in water and dish soap.
5) dry using tower and hair dryer.
6) apply caliper paint with 6-7 inch bursts.
7) enjoy.

I used Duplicolor Ceramic Caliper Paint (the rattle can - NOT the kit that comes with a brush which I hear works well too). I went with silver because they match my SH wheels, and they look so clean they don't even LOOK painted

These pics are low quality and at night

I used the Dupli-Color paint kit Several years ago and my calipers still look great. Not the Cleanest, but of course that's my fault. Good product and holds up well. I have NOT used a brake cleaner on them cuz I think it will strip the paint.










ok thats enough haha
