Here's mine. Painted with 900 degree hi-temp paint; $3.99 from pep boys. Took about 4 hours. It's held up to two full track days, no discoloration or fading. You might try the gallery, lots of pix in there.

and... these are pics of my car.
sorry it's not yellow, but at least you get the idea.

before the mod frenzy...



and the current madness.



yes, took about four hours.
the kit is somewhere from the internet, i paid about $30.
it's not really paint, you have to mix these diff. kinds of chemicals and
after an hour it becomes this thick, rubbery marterial.

my very first mod, it's holding up pretty well, i like it.

hey PWRMKR, are those powder coated or from the kit sold on the web?

does anyone have the link to that kit? I'd like to know what it actually is.

I would assume that it is better then just spraying the calipers with caliper paint. Is this true?

1 more question - how long does caliper paint usually last (no track time, just aggressive driving)?

.....................Here's my Sebring Silver with Red calipers during the painting. Take your time between coats, I would even suggest a slow, two day process or at least one very long day.
