Painting your brake calipers....
I have seen a few people ask how to paint their brake calipers so heres a QUICK & SIMPLE walk-through....

Stop by your local auto-parts store(Checker, NAPA, ETC) and pick up the following:

1. Brake caliper/drum/disc cleaner. This is usually around $3~5/can (you only need one can of this).

2. Dupli-Color engine enamel paint. This is usually around $3~5/can (if you have disc brakes all around or want to paint your drums get two cans, or just one can if you just want to do your calipers up front).

3. Light grit sand paper. This is usually around $5~7/ packet.

Also, if you dont have any masking paint & newspaper get some!

Follow these steps for each caliper/drum:

1. Jack your car up and remove the wheel/rim.

2. Follow directions on can of brake cleaner(clean your caliper/drum!!)

3. Lightly sand the caliper/drum.

4. Tape off entire rotor, wheel well and any where else you may incur overspray.

5. Hold can of paint 1~2 feet away from the caliper/drum and apply 1 light coat.

6. Allow coat to dry.

7. Apply 5~6 coats or until you are satisfied with the color/tone. Remember to allow each coat to dry before you start spraying on another coat.

8. Remove tape/paper. Replace wheel. Lower car.

Follow the above steps, for each drum/caliper.
