MikesS2K,

I just found some high temp (900 deg) yellow paint and laid her down. Remove two caliper bolts, pads, tape off, four coats, install, and drive.
If I was to have the time, I would love to do the real deal, like on the link from MajorHavoc. I think that's the next best way to go. Brake caliper upgrade is the shiznat.

The calipers look great, but why are we not painting the rotor? I noticed on mine that the rotor is ugly also!

a little trick for everything to think of instead of usuing alot of tape...slide a plastic bag from like a supermarket around the rotor so its inbetween the caliper and rotor...saves alot of time

Its amazing how much caliper painting has evolved in 7 years. Went from using painters tape to plastic bags to protect from overspray
