Don't know about the paint, but Justin at HybridMotorsports would be more than willing to do the pads. Call him and ask 917 497 4405.

Painting calipers is ricey. Leave them.

To avoid having to repaint, how about getting them powdercoated? Much more durable in the long run.

My friends daughter has awesome painting skills for a 9 year old. She has an A in art class and they are always looking for new ways for her to use her skills. I'm sure they wouldn't mind letting her paint your calipers for you. She has a thing for pink though, but I'm sure they wouldn't charge you anything, you just have to get the paint.

lol thanks but no pink for me. i did it over the weekend, and it came out pretty awesome. i would recommend the kit to everyone. they have it at advance auto parts or autozone and very easy to use. wayyyyyyyy better then the can spray.

Post up some photos. I'd like to see it.

Whats wrong with painting calipers? I painted mine silver just so they stay nice rather than being bare cast. If you see calipers up north that are cast they are all rusted and corroded so bad it looks unsafe lol. The best would be to moly coat them because it pulls the heat away rather than trapping it in. Thats what a powdercoater told me and he advised that I don't get my calipers powdercoated. IDK lol
