Default Painting Brake Calipers

I would like to paint my brake calipers red,I see some others have painted theirs as well and they have come out great.I was looking around and serched the search botton.Butitdid not anwser my question; the brake paint on ebay and other stores seem to say that the paint is for a white GT brake caliperI belive our brakes our gray.AmI looking at the wrong stuff ordoesit not matter?

Along with that for the people that have painted their brakes, didyou paint it with the wheels on? or did u jack it up and take it off?I dont want to half *** the job.

Thanks in advance.

Have to take the wheels off. Can buy the paint at a local auto place... most are brush on.. and count on not using your car for the day.

you can pick up a caliper paint kit at most autoparts stores, they usually come in a few different colors
