Default Painted my brake calipers

i bought this kit from advance auto parts store for $16.99





this is how it looked like before painted..


and this is how it looks like when it is done..
i applied 3 coats and one kit is good enough for 4 calipers..or 2 front calipers and 2 rear drums

I think they have red, yellow, blue & silver (questionable about the silver). I've always just cleaned them really good and sprayed them with $0.89 high temp paint. Takes one can to do them and is alot faster.

Yours looks good too though!

you can get .89 cent paint at wally world but i don't think its high temp

if you tape off the rotors (and i'd pull the pads) you don't have to remove the calipers
