I paint mine with the dupont kit(red).
I just painted the calipers and left the bracket black except for back .

Kinda gave that look like it was factory.

Looks great if thats yours.

PS.. the dupont kit is great and you have enough ceramic paint to do about 4-5 cars with 2 coats ( 15 bucks at autozone)

But that may 2 cents

Anyone have close ups of the REAR calipers painted? I want to see if you guys painted a certain section that I'm not sure about. I'd try to explain it too but I can't lol.

Here is an ok pic of all the calipers painted. I was going to only paint the fronts, but decided why not and painted the back too. My brake pads were already red. I didn't paint them, only the calipers.

I did some research and found out I painted the rears right. I'm painting the fronts tomorrow and will have pictures up!
