Default Red Calipers

Anyone know where I can get red calipers. A guy on here named wingman 75 has them on his black stang. I'm wondering about a price, and what they would run with installation. Thanks!

You could just paint them yourself. G2 makes an excellent product for caliper paint.

Paint 'em! Not hard and MUCH cheaper. Don't even know if you can buy them in RED.

could anyone help me out and let me know how to do it? I'm truly a beginner here, and would have NO idea how to even go about doing it. Where to get the paint, the procedure, all that stuff. I'm sure it's not rocket science, just need a little guidance. Thanks all!

Go to Autozone and ask for whatever color red caliper paint you want. There should be directions on the can, but while you are at Autozone you can ask for any tips you want.

So then, you just jack up the car, take the wheel off, and follow the instructions? Super worried about messing something up, ya know?

Go to autozone and get their DupliColor kit in red. Clean the calipers with the caliper cleaner in the kit and use the brush and red caliper paint. Follow the directions for use and you will get the results you want.

Buy the kit or buy the high temp engine paint with ceramic, then jack it up, take the wheel off, clean it with some dishwashing soap and water, tape off sections you don't want to paint, also use old newspapers to mask off places for over spray and paint them. if you get some on your rotors, one good breaking while driving will get it off. also take your time.

ahhh, so I just need to take the wheel off then, not the caliper itself. I thought it would be much more involved process. It is something I am going to do though, I just want to make sure that it is done right.
