My dad used duplicolor when he painted the calipers on his T/A...it looks great!

Silverish color on top and a mineral grey on the bottom portion

I'm painting the brackets black. I used Duplicolor BRUSH ON paint. Looks just as good as a sprayed one because the paint settles flat very quickly. I put 3 coats on each caliper. Gonna spray the brakets next weekend when I have the chance to.

I think it might be duplicolor spray paint... But i'll use any spray paint... It allows me to do 4 calipers in 40 seconds and it looks fine!

I've heard a lot about that g2 stuff though... I'll have to try it out maybe, but for now, my calipers are fine for a while
