Well I had to change my front brakes today so I figured I would paint all 4 of my calipers, I bought caliper spray paint at a local speed shop and it came out really nice. I'll post pictures tommorow.

Has anyone else done this?

I prefer the brush-on kit. Thicker coat, and you can work the paint into the nook and crannies better. Check out my rear disc upgrade. I did mine in blue...Remove the calipers completely for best results...

Mine look the same as yours but in red.. I dont like when people paint the outter part of the brake pad either.

I've done it too. I used silver high temp spray to match my wheels. Turned out great and have have no problems. I don't have any missing paint because anytime I take them off I rest them on a towel.
