Stock red calipers are starting to fade. Anyone repainted these? What kind of paint? High temp?
Thanks!

Tape off the bracket and pad, sand the caliper, spray that b*tch with a can so it comes out nice and even and not cake looking

Sand it or strip it and use VHF caliper paint. That's if you are taing it off of the car. If not then g2 paint.

I went to Napa and got some high temp paint and clear. If you have the time take the calipers off. Clean them, sand them, clean them, spray them with multiple layers then come back and sand off the letters. I cleared the letters too so i sanded the red then cleared it.

Bullitts have the pony on them which is tough to mask off.
