This is how mine turned out. Picture was shot by my blackberry.

 

hmmm

 

Gotta be honest man. I'm not digging it.

Sorry.

 

Spray paint or brush on paint? I sanded, cleaned, washed the calipers 2-4 times then put a heat gun on them to dry. Painted 3-4 coats. Should last me a couple months.

 

Its all good, everyones a critic. I know there not brembos/akebonos but they'll do for now. How much can you expect from pep boys

 

You can make them look way better than that with the right color

 

pep boys paints em for ya?

 

+1.

 

Actually, on another car, i used the duplicolor brush on kit. 3 calipers have been painted for SIX years and have no flaked or chipped at all. ONE caliper flakes off every couple of years. I keep repainting it, but it won't hold. Something on the caliper just won't let the paint stick..but the other 3 have been good for 6 years.

On my G35 that i posted pics on the 2nd page...i used SPRAY paint beleive it or not. I took my time with prep though, and did it when i was putting in new rotors and pads. I used 3 bottles of brake cleaner and simple green to clean the new rotors and calipers, then used an IPA/Water spray solution to clean off any greases left on the brakes. Then a little prep with POR-15 metal ready metal prep...and then used Duplicolor caliper SPRAY paint with several coats. I did the rotors and caliper support brackets off the car, and hung the calipers in the well, got a trash back and taped the crap out of everything and sprayed them there.

I took that pic maybe 3-6 months later...they still look that good. Every once in a while, i need to take the wheel off and get a nylon brush and simple green and wash the caliper to get rid of brake dust i can;'t reach through the spokes, but in terms of the paint flaking and chipping..none at all. I'm impressed actually. Coming up on 2 years

I gotta do the rears this spring...so going to do the same exact thing. I don't see a prob painting OEM brakes just to make them look clean. I mean i wouldnt go out and paint your accord's rear drums yellow like i see all the time, but nothing irks me more than to see a clean car lowered with nice rims...and rusty *** brakes behind them. But then again, i don't like when i see a nice clean white car with chrome rims and the owner paints the calipers blue or something. They need to take a lesson from their girlfriends on coordination! You don't wear blue shoes with a white dress.
