Hi Everyone,
I'm going to paint my brake calipers, just as soon as I decide on a color.
I need help. Does any one have pictures of there's? So I can get some ideas.
All suggestions and opinions are welcome. By the way my Stang is Tungsten Gray.
Thank you
I would do them black or red for your car

High heat paint...you can find caliper paint kits that come with brushes so you do not have to take the calipers off!

I have windveil blue and kind of painted them ford blue. It's pretty bright but I like the color, doesn't look "ricer", looks good, need to repaint the rear, I'd recommend 3 coats because they'll chip.
I used Duplicolor (purchased from Walmart), and put on 2 coats after cleaning the calipers. They look great on the front, the back are chipped away pretty good, however.
