Default Painted my calipers!

Yesterday I decided to paint my calipers. Here is a quick before and after. Have not put the wheels back on but will post a picture of that when I do.

Nice Yarb! Though I do believe you are copying me as it's the same shade as mine.

Looks good! I want to do that soon, where did you get the paint from and was it difficult to get an even coat?

Not hard at all. I got the brake caliper paint kit from Advanced for $18. It comes with cleaner and the paint. I did some sanding then brushed the paint on didn't take too long.
