painted my calipers
finally decided on just painting my calipers red. the can cost me 6.99 and there is enough for at least 2 cars.
me and my nefu got it done in a little over an hour , no attention to detail just covered it up good , used a little bit of gas to remove small oil stain (car has 1k milage) so the calipers were not really that dirty.
what really helped out is , once we painted 2 thickish coats , we waited 10 mins to remove news paper . then we would move the rotor and with a rag and gas we took off the excess paint , witch if you use an adequate amount of gas it came off super easy..do not let the paint dry or it may be difficult.
on the rear we had to lift the car from the differencial witch made it easy to just paint both calipers at same time as opposed to individual.
when rotating the rear rotor it got a little tricky , so we put blocks on the front tires on the front and rear so car would not move , we put it on drive and then it let us move the rotors around to clean off the excess paint (be very careful doing this , if you feel you cant , just pay someone to do it on a lift)
the finish was amazing its almost like every curve on the car just pops more.
