The classic red would look sweet.

I have seen a Calipers Paint Kit that has a cleaning solution, preping solution and the paint. You paint them with a brush. I can't remember how much it was.

I was told to paint mine red (by ashah000 I think). Would this be to much red since the car is red?



Someone else told me they sell caliper paint kits at the major autopart stores but not sure on the price.

Check these kits out. I used them and they work great. Better than just caliper paint in the can.
