I want to paint my brake calipers red. What is the best kit/paint? People that have done it, give tips and comments if you would. There are many on ebay and I’m sure if I go down to my local parts shop, many there too. Any, that are really worth buying? Thanks.

I just recently purchased the G2 paint system because other members had such good things to say about it. It is a brush on system that is easy to use. The only downside I can see is the clear coat is "built in" so if you have any stickers on your calipers then you may want to spray on a clear coat over them. I will hopefully be able to do my calipers this weekend. The kit isnt cheap though. I got mine from stylinconcepts for around $36. They were about the cheapest I could find.

I got some 1200 degree auto spray paint from AutoZone and a brush. Went home, took off the wheels, sprayed the paint into the paint cap, and brushed it on heavy. Took all of about 15 minutes to do all four. Been about 3 months and still lookin clean! Cost me like $6.00 for paint and brush.
