RE: Painted Calipers
I painted the stock rear calipers on my Marauder black to match the black Wilwood calipers I put on the front, and I used a standard high-temperature spray paint. It's held up perfectly and they look good. You can find high temp paints either at your auto parts store or a home hardware store.

Ok, listen, IT'S NOT REALLY NAIL POLISH. I used the G2 kit. I'm going to put some more pictures up tomorrow once I put on the plenum cover and I wash the car. The calipers look great, but it's been raining for like 2 weeks here and I really cant let my pony be photographed in this condition.

it comes with Ceramic Paint, Caliper Cleaner (spray can) tape, Paint brush.
RED Would be Awsome.....
TIP, It is eaiser to remove the caliper (DO NOT REMOVE BRAKE LINE) use a peice of wood and prop the caliper
up so you can paint all sides. The paint drys very fast so be quick and cover the can when not using for long periods.

some how the ceramic paint seals the porous metal and keeps the dust off.
Or maybe it's just me

Dude, those calipers really do the job, but when are you going to replace the stock mufflers!?!?!?!

I replaced the stock Mufflers the first month I bought the car, I started out with SLP's now I have the MAC's
