painted my calipers red




They turned out real good. I got caliper paint at pep boys for only $6. I think the truck looks real good with the calipers now red. Thanks, Shane

They look great!

I did the same - I used VHT paint good to 900 degrees, 1800 miles later they are holding up.

Great eye candy on our L.

I was doing my rotors the same day, so while I had the caliper and the rotor off, I put an old rag around the stuff I didnt want to get red and I just sprayed the caliper... I did a few coats, and they dried pretty quickly so I was able to put the rotors back on and the wheel back on. Red rotors on a black truck I think will look awesome!
