Finally painted my calipers.

Finally got around to painting my calipers red. Followed a DIY I found on here and it came out perfect. Very happy with the results. Used Duplicolor Engine Enamel-Primer,Color,Clear. Got the stickers online. Very easy job. Hardest part is cleaning/stripping the calipers and Masking everything off. I painted the calipers while on the car.

Very clean! You obviously did a good job on the masking, since your rotors aren't red

Great mod to do for under $50 and a Saturday worth of work. Well worth it!

Those look great! I hope the finish lasts for you through the tough NE winters. I have had mixed results with spray-on brake caliper paint. They normally look good at first, but start to look faded once the brakes heat cycle and the winter conditions get to them.

If they start to lose some of their luster, I suggest G2 caliper paint since it is more of a colored epoxy or pony up for a set of powder coated calipers.

I hope they last you the lifetime of the vehicle. Good luck!

Thanks man. I didn't use caliper paint. I used engine enamel. Should hold up better with the heat and bond better. Only time will tell.
