Painted brake calipers!!!
#16
Well I found the paint at my local kragens for 16.99. I think I am going to paint them black, but where can I order those stickers for the 250? I might just have them cut for me at a local place.

When you paint the calipers, did you have to remove the caliper to paint them or did you just paint them fully attached to the rotor and such? Also is this done with spray or brush? My factory calipers are looking awful with the various wheel cleaning agents hitting them and I just want to paint them a nice black color only with no logo's.

Nah, you don't need to remove the caliper to paint them.
This is the kit that I used:
this kit has everything that you need the brush, the paint etc....
or you can use spray can, but I think with the brush is way better

Has anyone found a good paint for the calipers that will match a Matador Red IS? I'd love to paint my calipers but it just doesn't look right if the reds don't match. If not, I'm thinking of painting them black and going with the decals like you guys have done. If I want to avoid painting them myself, is there somewhere I get it done? I.e. Can I just go to a paint shop?
