hey just wondering if painting my calipers is a good idea? i was thinkin about painting them red once i get my new set of rims. im not sure what would be involved. are there paint kits for this? or a specific kind of paint needed?

Yea theres kits i just did it on my friends TA in red looks amazing. Go to Autozone and buy it, its like 15bucks and you get paint, a brush, and the cleaning stuff which helps a lot.

You need to make sure you clean the calipers really good too, so it might take a little while but its worth it.

I bought the same kit from Autozone in red as well. Took a couple hours total for an awesome look. Think the kit was $13.99. I've seen some folks use the spray paint and it doesn't look as good in my opinion plus mine has been painted for over a year and still looks fresh. Brake dust washes right off.

Looks dumb IMO

I may be mistaken... but I believe the more complete kits online include a clearcoat for after the paint is dry that helps create a shine.

That is a 2 part epoxy, dupli-color makes one and a handful of different colours. Its a little more pricey at like $70.

I did mine black but got some silver pony caliper decals. They always get noticed.

I know that was posted a while ago... but dumb? I like it, sets things apart... Slotted + drilled rotors look nice, too
