Well, let me start off by saying that I am one that's why I'm allowed to say "redneck"! Anyway, I was at the store the other day and after all this talk about painting brake calipers I ran across Rustoleum BBQ paint. This stuff can withstand temps of 1200*F ( http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=112 ) so I figured... what the heck. This stuff is supposed to be tough and durable so I got to thinking. Shortly thereafter I picked up a can and what do you know, I have painted calipers. It was really easy. The end result is not as smooth as those previously posted brushed on types which would bug me if I was going with a lighter color but since I was going black anyway it doesn't really bother me. It is a spray paint so you'll have to do a little masking but that only takes a minute. I don't know how it will hold up but it was worth a shot for $4! What do ya'll think?

By the way, don't talk crap about the pics my 5 year old took them and she is a cage fighter.

The cheap do it yourself mods are sometimes the best.

I have 3m body side molding around my taillights.
It's the "before they sold black bezels" mod.

Looks pretty darn good too.

Hey, for $4, why not?

I did the chrome door molding around the grille mod, and I love it.

i think it looks good, but for 3 dollars more you could have just got caliper paint.

groved

Yeah but it's also a spray which would have given me the same results. Also, not that my brakes should get that hot but isn't the caliper paint rated to 900*F as apposed to 1200*? End result's all the same I suppose.

Got any pics? I really want the chrome grille surround from the PJ, but they don't sell it

plus you dont have to mask anything off...
The caliper kit comes with paint in a can and a brush for easy application / future rock chip touch ups

but still looks good nonetheless

groved

Very true. Although the masking only took a few minutes a brush would be easier for touch-ups.
