I painted my calipers back in 05 with VHT Caliper paint. I probably had 5-7 coats on each one. They still look good today but they still look like painted calipers.

I don't know if I'd be drooling over spending $180 for less than $1.80 worth of aluminum.

Install was simple and once the wheel was off it took about 3 minutes.
