I should just know that thats a no no on oem calibers.... lol lol and they should just leave them lookin like s**t.......... WHATEVER..............................

I did mine myself with caliper paint i bought from pep boys. I plan to get brembos/akebono soon but for the time being i wanted them to stick out. Bought a duplicolor paint kit for about $20 and they turned out nice. Sticks out when you drive. It took about 5 hours for a clean, nice, even job though.

Your car doesn't have 5 'breaks'? Are you sure?

dont wanna hate but that duplicolor paint didnt stick to well on my previous car

started to chip and fade about 5 months after the application.

The car was pretty much brand new. I cleaned the calipers and sanded a bit.

Spray paint = FAIL. Theres not a catalyst agent in spray paint like there is in automotive bc/cc. Theres a reason cars dont come from the factory with spray paint paint jobs... it doesnt hold up as well to the elements and wear and tear.

Exactly why I painted mine with Dupont Chromabase and clear

So awesome man. I bet people think they're so sick when you're out driving. I know I would because painted stock calipers are sick. Can you post up a pic?
