Need help. Someone please photoshop.

Is there anyway to make the paint on the caliper look nice and glossy when its done instead of dull. Is the paint already glossy or is there a different product that can be put on. The body shop I think will spray mine with a special paint they said. I appreciate any help. The paint will be white, almost to match the IP. Can anyone please photoshop the white calipers on a IP. And if possible put black infiniti and red infiniti lettering on another pic. Thank You.

I bought some paint that was specifically for "Calipers". It said you had to get the temperature of the calipers up to 200 degrees for the paint to cure properly (no problem there) They are really quite glossy. (I did put about 5 coats on though.)

Yep - I didn't even have to take the calipers off. I just removed the wheels and used a wire brush attachment on a drill and some break cleaning solution to to clean off the calipers. (Watch out for the rubber boots on the calipers) I masked off everything I didn't want to paint out to about 2 feet from the calipers and sprayed away. Very thin coats. While I was waiting for one coat to dry, I would go to the other side and prep/paint that one.

I got the paint at Canadian Tire. I'll check the name on the can when I get home.
