Hi Everyone,
I'm going to paint my brake calipers, just as soon as I decide on a color.
I need help. Does any one have pictures of there's? So I can get some ideas.
All suggestions and opinions are welcome. By the way my Stang is Tungsten Gray.
Thank you

I have windveil blue and kind of painted them ford blue. It's pretty bright but I like the color, doesn't look "ricer", looks good, need to repaint the rear, I'd recommend 3 coats because they'll chip.
I used Duplicolor (purchased from Walmart), and put on 2 coats after cleaning the calipers. They look great on the front, the back are chipped away pretty good, however.
