Default painted my calipers today

decided since i'm already changing my fuel filter and oil i might as well do something else. went to o'reily and picked up a caliper paint kit for less than 20 bucks (comes with all the paint, a brush, a stir stick, and caliper cleaner). took me about an hour to take my time and do all four. the only thing it doesn't say but you need to do is when you put your wheels back on MAKE SURE you torque them down to 100 ft/lbs. other than that it's definately one of the easier mods i've done. let me know what you guys think.

looks good! they also have caliper paint in spray cans if you dont want to deal with brushes. it was close to the same price as the kit. IMO it was alot easier to use.

I did it the hard way. I took off the calipers and used engine spray paint. My problem is that I didn't fully clean the calipers before I painted them. They good from far away though. My brother-in-law is extremely picky and he says they look good to him. Good enough.
